Les Petits Cailloux Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

Great length, a little too warm and the abv stood out a fair bit

Drank 2012 great savory taste with a perfect finish. Big wine but great tasting.

In a good place with some age. Crushed violets and plums, a good red for a cold day.

A fabulous CdP @ a great price of €36-€45 from a single vineyard as a second wine of an unusual single grape for CdP but lovely 👍
