80% #grenache 10% #Syrah 5% #mourvedre and 5% #cinsault like a liquor and I love it.

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.

Funky goodness

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

2006

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

Cheap yummy cdp nothing wrong with this wine I picked up at Safeway

2017, from 375. Abs beautiful. Red fruit and garrigue. Long grippy finish.

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.
