La Fiole Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend
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.

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 :)

Apr 15th, 2017Historically shaped bottle. Blend of Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Grenache. Aromas of dark currant, wood, lavender, and mushroom. Ripe black cherry and plum flavors with hints of earth, graphite and iron. Not overly concentrated, but full bodied. Fairly tight tannins and fresh acidity. Non-Vintage, so I guess it’s a blend of multiple vineyards and vintages.
