Blend of 85% Grenache and 15% Mourvèdre, aged in oak, Ruby with aromas of berry fruits, oak and pepper spice. On the palate flavors of cherry, blackberry and sweet raspberry with notes of oak, vanilla and leather. Smooth tannins, long finish ending with fruit, oak and pepper spice. Very nice.

A little spice and a little taste of plum can I make you missed the summer of Rhône

Though likely past it’s peak, that must’ve been something even more special. Took an hour to sort out the rich brambly red fruit, plum sauce and shroomy earth. A real treat.

Young, shows the vintage from the grenache but the extra dollop of SM is helping this out. I like the dark, brooding black/blue fruit component, a little sexy. Loads of spices across the board. Some astringent tannins need to furl out, there’s some compartmentalization going on structurally that needs resolve for that ultimate CNDP hedonism train but for now I like the muscles it brings to the table. Raw power and untamed, perfect match to unapologetically rich/rustic food with the same personality.

A real beauty. More approachable than the 2010.

A powerful yet elegant CdP. Rounded and not heavy. Drinking well already.

This should be one of the better cuvees from Bosquet des Papes but it disappoints. The bottle seems to be in a difficult phase - not great at this moment in time.
