Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

2012 drunk in 2024. Still fresh with a bit of fruit, but not much body or depth to speak of.

Woah! Grenache based (64%) but the (15%) Mourvèdre influences big. Juicy, sweet red fruits... old fashioned cherries and crushed raspberry, cranberry. Touch of cedar and gravel, fresh black pepper. Layered, elegant, opulent.

This CNP is so authentic to the region Ann's beautifully crafted. Medium extraction; well blended; drinking very nice. 2012 vintage. Brings joy to my mind. Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah to all!

Sales meeting Friday! Owned by Cazes family of Lynch-Bages. 65% Grenache/20% Syrah/15% Mourvèdre

Classic Bretty beast:)
Good acid balance.
Astringent tannins still!

Strong alcohol on the nose even after an hour of decanting but flavours excellent - heavy on cherries, light mouthfeel. Paired well with spicy pork tenderloin. From BB&R tasting event.

Luciuos and smooth with big fruit and white pepper. Finish is blackberry and excellent acid.

Amaze.

2012 Vintage

Lovely, soft with mild pepper after taste. Great with blue cheese and aged gruyere
