Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend

Tawny color, mostly opaque. Herbal nose. In contrast to the Roty red burg which is rich and silky, this is more angular and herbal – pairing well with food. Notes of red briary fruit, herbs de provence, dusty earth and some tobacco leaf. Great balance in the mouth with a great mix of fruit, acidity, structure and softened tannin. In a good spot right now.

Drinking great !

Spicy and hot - flavors melding with air tho - tar and blueberry with bramble

Kind of a clumsy night for an old friend. Hey, we all have our days....

Loving. I think the "off" vintages in Châteauneuf are some of my best friends.

Lots of kirsch, red berry fruits, dried herbs in an elegant & silky finish

Some sulphur. But still. Really good. Ready to go.

Beautiful! Big cherry fruit with plenty of Provençal herbs.

2nd chateaunuef de pape of the night. Bigger and more acidic but less fruit than the first. Good but different.

Drinking like a champ!!! Still lots of fruit and nice body. A bit hot on the nose but nice jammy fruit flavors. Big plum/fig....
