Cuvée Juline Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache-Syrah Blend

Enjoyed this yesterday in celebration of Mark Green’s 50th. It was awesome. Happy Birthday, Mark!

Very modern in style, with an interesting blend of 50/50 Grenache/Syrah. Savory and herbaceous, firm, fine tannins, and an excellent, long finish.

5/15/15. Nose like macerated dark fruit, blackberries, black cherry, plums. Grenache-y dark cherry astringency comes through but some Syrah fills it out. Some heat on the finish but better integrated than I remember from an earlier tasting. A little more modern than I like in a CDP but very tasty. Even better after a couple of hours in glass!

Paul A. Pushing the boundaries with a modern take on CDP. Still with barnyard funk, but an oak undertone reminds you that this is breaking with tradition. Elegance in a glass. Period.

Gross amount of oak. Straight up disrespectful to the region.

Very good. Matt loved. Kurt birthday wine. Very but still earthy. Definitely a treat but wonder if better decanted or aged even more. Probably have had other wines better for the dollar.

Rhonda's favorite Chateau neuf de Pape (she found it there in the village)

Fresh sweet fruit

👃 Very expressive. Dark fruit with some spice, a bit of garrigue, mint, and a touch of oak

👅 Rich, sweet, mostly purple fruits(plums, purple grapes, black raspberries) with
mint. Full bodied. Fruit forward. Quite fresh. Drinking very well.
Tannins-soft and nearly imperceptible
Finish-long and pleasant

This is best as a pop and pour. Best served cool to keep it fresh. Loses focus with more air. Immutable wall of flavor. A wine of big, sweet fruit. Too sweet?

Delicious 😋

Big deep rich loads of dark fruit. Great with magnet de canard.

Excellent
