Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Soft red berry and underbrush nose led a plush, smooth and liquored-up core of red plum and kirsch. Lots of variation in this case but I loved em all so far.

Reddish violet color. Translucent but dark. Warm fruit nose. Notes of red cherry, kirsch, herbs, Warm in the mouth, almost to a fault, thanks to the vintage. Rich. Overwhelming. Not my cup of tea.

Cocoa powder, muted cassis, licorice. Elegant and nearing the end of its glorious life.

Nice wine showing relative restraint and ageing potential for a ripe vintage.
