Hot rocks and minerals with red tart fruit and acid well maintained to hold up with the alcohol...

Drinking just beautifully right now. A ripe core of fruit still shines through layers of cedar, herbs, potpourri, and some serious gamey-funk. Feeling very cohesive and complex tonight.

The best Chateauneuf tasted in a long time. Medium body, good acidity. Lots of earth and sauvage. Not a fruit bomb. Don't know if it will be the most popular with consumers but certainly the first Chateauneuf I've wanted to drink in a long time.

Lovely balanced wine. Generous fruit and attractive herby notes. Lovely length. Oh for a big chunk of meat!

Tobacco and leather and some cherry lolly. A bit austere. Jury is out.

Astonishing fruit! Fully mature...NOT over the hill. Just a complete surprise. If I had known how good it was, we would not have opened it today
