Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

16/20 (90/100)

Финики, лакрица, вишнёвка с корицей, торт, замша, сладкие пряности. Тело весьма полное, вкус с легкой горчинкой, огромным количеством вяленых ягод, копчёностями. Послевкусие весьма продолжительное.

Black fruit compote, roasted herb and meat juice, with glycerin texture.

Needs over an hour to open.

Young but balanced and needs many years to mellow.

Earthy fruit and strong, dusty tannins....

Tasty. Not epic. But nice with the lamb chops.

Strong

Nice acidity (especially w Mom's pot roast) opened to deep, rich complexity. Will buy a few more to cellar for 2-4 years
