#AgedWineTuesday.

Dark ruby in color with a reddish/ brick rim.

Pretty nose of red and black fruits with cedar, licorice and chocolate notes.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with sweet raspberries, cherries, plums, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, black pepper and tobacco leaf.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious 14 year old GSM blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Rich, but not extracted. Elegant with lots of chocolate notes. Well balanced with nice complexity.

Impressively fresh and youthful for its age, with good structure and balance. The high alcohol is well integrated by now.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is very consistent.

Drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

A gorgeous wine to drink by itself or with food.

A blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 20% Mourvedre. Grapes from very old vines are aged in new French oak barrels for 14 months.

15% alcohol by volume.

Opened the day before with half the bottle remaining. The 2007 CdR Villages pours a deep purple color with an opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe and desiccated dark brambles, red and purple flowers, open pasture land, olives, some black pepper, leather and organic earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish is medium+. This is an impressive wine despite the rather modest designation, especially when you consider it’s nearly 18 years old! Then again, the talent behind this wine should yield a solid wine (Pegau & Cailloux). Drink now though it could easily see its 25th birthday if you must hold one longer. — 10 months ago

Golden in color.

Beautiful nose of citrus, apples, pears, light earth, nuts and spices.

Full-bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with lemons, citrus, apples, spices, light oak and earth.

Long finish with citrus and apples.

This 10 year old Roussanne from Châteauneuf-du-Pape is drinking beautifully now. Elegant and nicely balanced.

Still showing lots of fruits and drinking at its peak. Will continue to do so in the next 5 to 7 years.

Complex and interesting with a nice mouthfeel. Nicely balanced, soft and smooth.

A great sipping wine, easy drinking and better when not too cold.

100% Roussanne grapes from old vines, were handpicked and aged in new French oak barrels.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Red and black fruits on the nose with cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco and chocolates.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with raspberries, strawberries, spices and chocolates.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.

This is a very tasty GSM blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Elegant and nicely balanced. Tangy and interesting.

Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Already drinking nicely, even by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre. Aged in large French oak barrels.

GOSH this blend of Roussanne, Clairette and Grenache Blanc makes for a poised, silky and aromatic but elegant bottle I’d imagine paying twice as much for. The nose promises stone fruit and incense adventure, while the palate is cozy, adding warming spice, lanolin and honeydew melon, along side hints of wet stone to keep it all fresh. J’adore, je affor(d). — a year ago

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Fresh on the nose and medium in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate, spicy and entertaining.

Showing red and black fruits with light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs and peppercorn.

Medium plus on the finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 7 year old GSM blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape is starting to drink very nicely now. Complex and well balanced. Fresh and engaging.

I've had a few older vintages of this wine, and it definitely improves with age.

Elegant, and good by itself or with food.
