Privelège Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

An interesting blend of Grenache 50%, Syrah 25%, Mouvèdre 15%, and Cinsault 10%. On the nose you get a nice cherry pie and blueberry preserves notes, as for the taste the red fruits dominates at all times, medium plus tannins, nice acidity and very warm, though it can be boozy for some as it has 15.5% ABV.

We had the 2012 Vintage on 6/14-15/24. The bouquet has hints of licorice, tabbaco and kirsch. BlackBerry, plum and smoke on the palate. The tannins are fine, full bodied and fruit forward.

Deep ruby color.
Aromas of black berry fruit, cassis, spice.
Dry. Flavors of blackberry compote, licorice, cinnamon. Medium-rich, chewy tannins.

Intensity: 3/5
Complexity: 2/5
Balance: 4/5
Finish: 4/5

Found this wine by chance, but what a find. It should be even better in a few years.

This was a nice wine that ended the night. Quite tasty.

After 10 days of Napa Valley Cabernet I welcome a change. This is a subtle and mellow red with huge fruit flavors of fruit. Immediately approachable. Lovely and refined! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Complemented all components of an avocado, tri-tip salad.
