2013 vintage drink late 2024. Fairly intense, medium tannins, and enough fruit. Lacked a bit of the savory, black olive characteristic that I love so much in CDP, but no real complaints here.

Really beautiful - showing its age but still vibrant red fruit and cherry liqueur.

Nice, rich maybe still heavy as it is in its youth as most of Chateauneuf - a great classic and well known wine - needs time to get rounder - little spicy notes it is an intense wine - see you in a few years

Showing lots of age for a six year old wine, but still has a freshness to it. Very nice, but don’t sit on it.

Very nice, if a bit ripe and hot. Lovely aromatics. Nice bottle development.
