Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

2012 vintage

2009. Love this producer. This particular bottle was in an awkward stage. Needs a few years to emerge.

Disappointing but so many 98's are.

1990 vintage. In the middle of the flight of older CdP. Still quite alive but I drink up rather than hold this.

simply gorgeous....elegant and balanced

2013 vintage

Old vine Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah & Cinsault.. Just a baby

2011 vintage. It might have been the surroundings of a Michelin 3-star restaurant in Paris that made this wine seem so ideal...nah, it was good. Young and a bit tight at first, but opened up to reveal its many layers.

Can't wait to try this in 5yrs!

This 2003 is fully ready to drink, bricking slightly around the edges. Nose has some fig notes on top of black fruit. Fruit evolves slightly in the glass and finishes with a graceful note of black pepper.
