By no means over the hill but just a bit dull. Plenty of red fruit, focused, good structure, notes of white pepper and garrigue. Fine, well made, lacks character.

Bright ruby color. Cherry nose. Red and black fruit with medium body on the palate; balanced acidity and fully resolved tannin. Short finish. This was better 5 years ago and won't get better from here. Still an enjoyable wine but time to drink up.

Sorry to see the last bottle go, but probably time to drink. Very southern Rhonish, but at this point low key, soft, not aggressive. Nothing else to add to prior notes.

(Domaine de la Charbonnière Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Mourre des Perdrix) Dark red violet color; tart berry, black fruit, sage nose; rich black fruit, smoky, tart berry, lavender, charcoal palate; medium finish
(Domaine de la Charbonniere Charteauneuf "Mourre des Perdrix") Nice floral, cherry, tea leaf, mint, lavender and earth. Dense, rich and concentrated with low acidity and lots of black cherry and licquorice fruit. There is a serious warmth on the finish that worries me. Great material but I have doubts that this wine will ever be in balance.

Last bottle, covered with dust. Another broken cork, but wow, excellent CDP! Had with Monday sourdough pizzas. Lovely.
