La Fiole Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

It's a good wine. But it's also pushing $50. Gimmick bottle and NV... sounds like it should be worth a lot of points.

Conpletely and utterly forgettable.

Dirt on the bottle intentionally. Non vintage . Had to try. Right out of bottle, classic cdp. Red fruit, spicy, a little reduction, bracing acidity, waiting for the mushroom aspect. Will leave open til tomorrow. Pretty good for $23.99 at Costco.

Yes I bought it becouse of the bottle, but the wine was not bad at all, would say strong 78pts and very drinkable NV blend of GSM with Cinsault. Nose is shy, but I can catch strawberries notes, mouth is light (label lying about full body ha ha ha), fruity, but not sweet & spicy with nicely stroked acidity, tannins? Can feel some but they are light like feather. Nothing remarkable but very drinkable and paired well with home made "plenty of cheese" pizza. Cheers and Merry Orthodox Xmass :)

A very approachable and affordable CDP. Complimentary pairing with Chicken Parmesan and Spring time garden salad.

Descent effort for an everyday CdP drinker. Curious how the next NV release will compare.
