Domaine Porte Rouge
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend
Smells of prune
Dense fruit prune and dried dark cherry, fig Newton, wisp of mint and really laid back acid, over shadowed by the feathery tannin. A decent wine, More of a Rhône field blend, which it is, yet if you are luckily to live in the boundaries, slap that picture of the old summer castle on the label and sell what you can.

Smells of scone spices.
Medium bodied with a bright fruits leads me to believe this is strong on the Grenache - cherry preserves, pepper, tobacco, chop stick tannins (bamboo) and grape jolly rancher acidity.
May need another couple years to fully meld.

Domaine Porte Rouge Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2012: a small 2,6Ha domaine, over 6 plots, 85% Grenache & 15% Syrah, it was one of the only 2012 that showed more than the others, most of the 2012 were sleeping. This wine is aged in old barrels, displaying fine tannins structure, a bit atypical from the others, floral and juicy, a generous wine.
