Sometimes you just want something dark and rich. Prunes, strawberry jam, leather and dried flowers. Pretty ripe stuff but did the trick.

violets, suede & cured meats waft from the glass before dark berries, kirsch, crushed minerals, pepper, dried herbs & sage coat the palate ~ will be fun pairing over the next decade

This was in very good shape, no age, still lots of body. Didn’t really blow me away, but it was solid.

This was better the second day. Robust and inky. Really great with our steak.

Usseglio is one of the finest Chateauneuf producers and this Cuvée Impériale has his 100+ years old vines. So think you can drink with a spoon. But its also really complex with all the spices ans flowers, garrigue and all. Outstanding. Needs several more years in the cellar. If you try before 2025 I suggest you decant 45 minutes before.

This a great Chateauneuf made with grapes from over a 100 year old vines. All the back fruit and spices you expect to find there, very bold and same time elegant as only very old vines can give. Long in the mouth, with a kaleidoscopic set of tastes. This is wonderful now but no rush, can be hold for decades. A stunning bottle no one should miss !

Nose of dark raspberries, licorice, beef fat, vanilla, menthol, and cinnamon. Palate is quite reminiscent of raspberry jam. There is also vanilla and wood spice. Tannins are quite smooth. This was the most dense and concentrated (and alcoholic) of the trio we tasted. A bit one dimensional now, but I'm curious where this style of CdP will go over time.
