Château Sixtine
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Dark ganache, espresso, blackberry and dark plum aromas and flavors, with a very pleasant and expressive aftertaste. Too young. This will blossom in 2 years.

Beautifully executed #chateauneufdupape. Heady, New World - style bramble berry nose and that fruit forward nature carries through the palate, but balanced well with acidity, spice and already elegant tannins. I’ll need to hold onto the other bottles I have to see how this tastes after laying down for several years.

Young. Definitely needs age or a long decant. The nose has leather, vanilla, dark berries (blackberry, black cherry), all very ripe. Very thick. On the pallet upfront you get silky lush tannin with a punch of acidity. There’s a drying oak with that dark berry again and something I can’t quite figure out...a green element. Green pepper maybe? Yum!
