I vacillate between “my tastes have changed and I no longer like Chateauneuf du Pape like I used to” and “I’m the only person who can be honest about Chateauneuf du Pape these days.” Anyway, this has a pleasant nose of wet river stones and dark raspberry. But in the mouth it’s heavy and ungainly. Pretty rich but basically an overweight non-athlete. Compared to its current peers, it’s pretty good. But compared to CDP of the 70s, 80s, and 90s (I’ll add 2001 to that list), it’s just disappointing.

2018 was just a weird year. This had zero tannic structure. ZERO. Still lots of great dark fruit flavor and some herbal notes, maybe some tobacco, but flabby.

Lots of dark berries and quite tannic. Opened up beautifully on day 2. Really looking forward to this over time!
