M. Chapoutier
La Bernardine Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend



75% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre —a total stunner she is, drinkable now with a body to go the difference. The nose brings red fruits (plums, cherries, strawberries) and roses and rose petals. The palate is silky-smooth, fresh fruit giving way to tootsie roll and stewed fruit flavors, augmented by earth and sanguine balsamic grooves, a bit of herbal garrigue carrying the day. The finish carries on, persistent and solidly ethereal if we can make that a thing.

Pop 'n pour, I couldn't taste it with enough aeriation as it deserves since the bottle went very fast from full to empty. Good stuff though!

Великолепно! Аромат вяленых томатов, солодка, шоколад, ежевика, табак

Интересное вино, несмотря на то, что 2011 год и еще много свежести, неспелые томаты, красные ягоды так же, после аэрации открывается много третичных нот, свежего стейка, джемовость. Отличное вино
