Domaine Durieu
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend
Shades of brick on the veneer; low variation across. Earthy, peppery, funky, fungus, tobacco leaf, dried cherry, overripe plum, violets, roses, dried bay and grill buildup. Silky palate explodes with rich red cherry and ripe plum. Prunes and fresh, ground black pepper follow while dark tobaccos and myrrh culminate. Rich, powerful, perfumed and incensed. This dungeon shadow hound from the underground begs for chunks of grilled meats!

Same notes apply - a very a sturdy wine.
Worthy of a sea shanty or two.

Garrigue, black and red fruit, brambly, slight pepper, hot, finishes with dried earth, but very tasty...

Feb 18th, 2021Lilacs and berries, fresh altitude air, and of course, allergy meds that allow this aroma to come through.
Deep black berry, prune, smoke, graphite. The elegance of this heavy handed beauty is astonishing. Smooth across the tongue, with a bit of raspy tannins that come out and let the acidity know who’s the boss. Highly enjoyable.

Proof that the French are correct about everything; 1000% Jerry.

Nov 15th, 2016I find this white CdP extremely typical. That radicated sour grapefruit that i always wish to find in blanc from this area. Not a monster, not a noble, but definitely enjoyble.
