Medium ruby color. Aromas of dried cherry, blackberry, plum and earthy/dirt. What a wine! The GSM come through with black and red fruit, gorgeous finish!

I might be the only naysayer, but I found this wine thin, tannic, and disappointing at this point. The nose was extraordinarily good, but the palette just did not match it. Maybe this wine will be better with age for me, but I did not appreciate it now, and it was quite expensive.

Jan 22nd, 20222017 vintage, a classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Light burgundy color. Aroma of dark red fruits, and alcohol. Nice fruity flavors. Especially as it opens and I imagine in a couple of years it will be very nice.
