Nose of black tea, portobello, baked plum and soft, unctuous cherry. Kirsch-chocolate, blood orange, French roast, marigold, ferromagnesian elements. Coffee, baking chocolate, black cherry skin, cigar smoke, venison jerky, char, cassis, and vine charcoal.

Uninterrupted rim saturation. Dark plum with rich pressed blackberry aromas; Applewood charcoal smoke, suede, and charred bacon. Violets and safe vie for recognition through a textbook panoply. Black and red plum bounce in the thick blackberry, with thyme and rosemary now, black pepper dusted grilled meat, dried lavender and sapling oak, blue spruce nettle, morel, pencil shavings, cottonseed, cassis, and black currant. There is an iron feel sifting through fine earth dust that seems to re-emerge on the finish. This is a real beauty with a stunning combo of finess and sinewy, farm strength. Sun-bronzed and Hands-on, she is a perfect assimilation of her environment. Great look!

This 07 left a lot to be desired. Medium minus tannins, medium plus acidity, pale garnet color. Notes of crushed rock, pencil shavings and orange peel. Just not what I was expecting from an 07 in the southern Rhône region. #chateauneufdepape #domainedebeaurenard #southernrhone #wineproblems — 7 years ago

I love it! 2014 vintage is just starting to show hints of black olives. I love the silky texture and the just barely sweet flavors. There is a lovely dance between the savory #Syrah and the red berries #grenache there is #terroir in the bottle. #châteauneuf #chateauneufdepape — 3 years ago

Meu primeiro #chateauneufdepape. E não é da Olivier e Lafont. É do Jean Laffite. Achei bem equilibrado no frutado, no álcool e na acidez. Bem do bom. — 7 years ago

Given some time to open up, this CdP does deliver with a lighter body style. Soft cherry, touch of prune, lovely earthy-spicy aromatics and even spicier on the palate finish. Delicious wine, perhaps the 2014 #chateauneufdepape was a standout vintage for this Domaine. — 4 years ago

Smoky plum meets dank river and beef and ham’s baby on blacktop, with black rye, oregano, deer spoor, clay, and blackened corn meal. Medium mouthfeel, sharp plum-skin plus cranberrythat softens to raspberry and dried strawberry, rhubarb and miracle berry. Actually holding up well since 2005. #cdp #châteauneuf #chateauneufdepape #rhone #rhoneblend #frenchwines #xavier #anonyme #xaviercdpanonyme — 5 years ago
