Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Another visit to the weekly Wednesday Wine Committee, and a wonderful hosting by Glenn. As always, all wines are tasted blind. 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert.
Ripe and a little hot. Picked up the ABV here more than the others. Rich in style with red, blue and black fruits. Little bit of smoked meats and black pepper/peppercorn finish. At this age, it’s more modern in style. Give it time.

Lavender, smoke, rice cake, sparkling summer river water, ripe, red plum aromatics. Raspberry, plum, light cedar and cinnamon, dry oregano, sandy soils echoing fine grained tannins. Silky, plum oil seductively lounges on your tongue, undulating through the rich black olive and plum cider finish.

Starting to open up. Strong tannins but smooth. Would love to revisit again down the road.
