Domaine de Marcoux
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Drank this over some deep conversation that was way more important than this bottle but this was a really nice enhancement. There has been some positive evolution over the last year and it’s beginning to flesh out. Brambles, garrigue, lavender, nutmeg, all spice. Elegant and screams 2014. A real pleasure now and should be for years to come.

Oct 25th, 2018Popped and poured. Consumed over three hours. A little reticent at first but after about 30min of air it was 100% open for business and dangerously quaffable. Plums, brambles, and garrigue on the nose. Dark and red fruits with some white pepper, wrapped in a silky body and a long spicy finish. Lovely and delivering the goods now. Definitely more on the elegant side of the spectrum but that could be more an indicator of the vintage. Drink now with a short decant but will drink well through 2021

Pretty exceptional. Light body but full flavored. Jammy, soft, slightly tannic, and very drinkable. Thank you ancestors.
