When should I drink Châteauneuf-du-Pape?

The complexity of Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines is further enhanced by the aging that allows them to express all their potential. Some can be drunk young but keeping it for 5-15 years will allow the wine to blend its flavors in a harmonious way, exposing rich fruit, spice, and earthy notes. Nevertheless, some vintages may achieve their zenith sooner and, therefore, a trustworthy source or wine expert should be consulted to ensure that proper consumption windows are observed.
