Cuvée Exceptionnelle Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

I think this is in a bad place.

CDP is a savoury style and a long time favourite of mine. This expression is a little light in body with floral aromas with a tarry touch. Nothing special. Drink remaining bottles in next year or so. 16.

If you think their entry level of Chateauneuf-du-pape is great, try this, it will blow your socks off! They only make the "exceptional" a few times a decade

Strawberry compote and earth

In its perfect place right now. Beautiful nose.

Drink now it’s in a great place!!!!

Astringence et amertume. L'autre bouteille va attendre très longtemps

Beautifully balanced, seems to be closing down for a while.
