Domaine de la Janasse
Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Reddish in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing raspberries, fresh cherries, light oak, spices, chocolates, coffee and black pepper.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Grenache from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.
Still young, but already drinking beautifully. Easy drinking right out of the bottle, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
Robert Parker 93 points.
I've had a few vintages of this wine, and this vintage is absolutely fantastic. The high alcohol is well integrated already.
Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.
A blend of 85% Grenache, 5% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre and 5% local varieties.
92 points.
$90.

Was the wine of the vintage and still going strong after 16 years. Beautiful garigue nose, blood sausage, licorice, very round. 3 bottles left.

Ruby with aromas of red fruit, 100% Grenache. Aromas of berry fruits, oak & sweet spice. On the palate flavors of raspberry, cherry and blackberry with hints of oak, leather, vanilla spice and black pepper, aged in oak, complex and elegant with fine soft tannins, long finish. Just getting good now, will age well.

Powerful nose of undergrowth and bright red berry, elegant and so round, fine tannins still framing a beautiful beam of red and black fruit, asian spice, white pepper. Phenomenal and still drinking young.

Very elegant and refined. Showing a little age in a great way.

Dark violet. A deeply perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red/blue fruits, incense and exotic spices, and a floral accent builds as the wine opens up. Sweet and expansive in the mouth, offering lush black raspberry, boysenberry and spicecake flavors that are energized by a core of juicy acidity. Shows excellent clarity and solid, spicy thrust on a long, sweet finish framed by velvety tannins. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, October 2021)

Super CDP. Lush super ripe tannins with dominant black and blue berry taste with pepper at the end. Can be drunk now but will improve over the next 5 to 10 years.

Aug 29th, 2021Still a beast of a wine. Full bodied, meaty, peppery. A bit too much Robert Parker ?
