La Crau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

BJ had this 8 years ago

Delish

Not a Telegraphe fan, but cool vintage stuff from them sounded kinda nice on the cold night after our move.

Heat showing a bit but will become a beatiful wine with time in the cellar.

Delicious. Acid, mineral, super nice texture and integrated tannin. Beautiful fruit without excess sweetness. Would benefit from more cellar time but is drinking great now.

VA issues

Excellent cork and fill. Pappy funk!

Not showing much on day 2.

Spring drinking over the park.

Black fruits, smoked meat, garrique, leather and dried herbs
