This is amazing value wine!! Apparently coming from the edges of the Châteauneuf du Pape appellation so it cannot receive more than table wine classification. This is far from table wine you may think of, there is so much in it, it has complex nose with earthy and animal tones and excellent structure in the mouth. This will never be copied in new world wines. New world winemakers actually claim this is fault of the wine, but I do not give a shit as I LOVE IT!!!!!. considering the price this wine is no way comparable to basic CDR tasted 30 minutes ago here, which costs almost the same.
