Layer upon layer of rich, heady aromas waft from the glass. Boysenberry and black raspberry, dried cherry, leather, dusty earth and roasted meat. This voluptuous Chateuneuf graces the palate with superb depth, balance and concentration in equal measure. Tannins are fine and well-integrated and it culminates with notes of black currant, herbs de Garrigue, lavender, crushed stone and spice.

20th birthday wine#2 WOW. I was afraid this was over the hill. Gorgeous, classic CDP. Beautiful fruit with a peppery and graphite feel to it. This wine is very much alive.
