Seems to be still underdeveloped. Dark color. Red fruit nose. More a statue of a c9dP than a c9dP itself… Nice garrigue aromas, spices, fruitiness but not as voluptuous as I experienced Clos des Papes from other years. Very young. All in all a bit restrained. I think this wine needs some more time for development.

Deep golden, sweet nose. Bouquet of honey, honey… and a bit of orange, pineapple, roasted almonds. Thick texture but not overly concentrated. Good length. Will hold for some more years.

Deep and ripe. Very complex bouquet of honey, apple crumble, brioche. A bit of a sherry note. Long finish. Elegant.
