Lackluster initially then developed into a beautiful wine.

A bit of warmth on the nose. Then come blackberry, garrigue, olive, meat... What a complex nose. Not an intoxicating nose but real complex. The palate is consistent with the appellation. Strong acid backbone but some delicious and charming texture, olive and red fruits on the sides. Cool tannins spicing things up a bit. The finish is rather quick with those fruity notes and a bit of salt. Not the best CdP I've had.

【✨隆宝教皇新堡干红✨】

初醒时口感中等有点深度,单宁较精细。
后有黑色水果和皮革味,很稳重的一款酒,
有一些沉淀。
局中与柠檬酸甜汁煮龙利鱼块共食,竟大大触发了相互的甜口味,很神奇。

Pale garnet in color with nice legs. Herbaceous, Garrigue on the nose. Lovely blackberries on the palate. A well balanced and nice GSM overall

A very decent wine, but slightly disappointed my expectations. Mineral forward, earthy, some deep plum notes, cedar, tobacco, and an acid that's within throwing distance of too much. The tannin draws out some black tea notes. Nice elements, but as an ensemble they don't quite harmonize.

Very nice color and bouquet, wonderful taste. Cries well with almost everything.

Very good Chateauneuf, perfectly paired with a filet mignon
