Really good young Chateauneuf. Had that characteristic funky meaty darkness that only CDP can truly achieve. Would love to try it again in a few years

Some decent complexity, but there is a rubber note that somewhat overshadows the more pleasant notes.

Started very nice, with fruit, but then the tannins become dominant.

Spicy red fruit starts the drink and decent tannins in the body. A dose of sweet juicy, polished, peppery fruits at the finish. Pretty good wine for 75$ at a restaurant-- paired well with the ribeye. I'd like to see it under 70$ at a restaurant or $32 or less at the store for a 90 rating from me.

A bit of funk off the top but very enjoyable with lots of meat
