Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

Copying @Ron R ...

Funky open with a bite.
Calmed to a cranberry, white pepper, with some herbal notes- dill? Spice and pepper persists on the palate with tangy cranberry and and orange rind. Tannins need a bit more softening. But overall, quite fine.

Clean minerally nose; red small berries, ceder wood, peppers, coffee notes in an elegant package.

Klar och ren smak med mineralitet. Hallon och björnbär på en ganska markerad syra. Viss kryddighet. Stram och elegant

Mycket fin

Häll över i karaff och låt lufta i 45 min. Mycket bra!

Wonderful example of ready to drink Chateaneuf!

Broad and spicy with grainy tannins. Quite developed and open already, much more so than the ‘16. Warm vintage characters.

Yummy soft fruit Grenache. Opened nicely. Had at La Grenouille.

This is the bottle we got from the chateau itself

Solid value and delicious wine. Savory dark fruits with a touch of baking spice.
