Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Vanilla laden lilac candy. A nice little nose.
An eloquent wine, with a lovely rounded mouthfeel.
Darker fruits fruit leather, a sprig of mint, a hint of currant, subtle is the fruit. Neither overpowering or underwhelming, this sits in a harmony I have not had in a while. Solid vintage. Solid wine. Gotta stop raiding the cellar..
And when I say cellar, let me clarify: it’s more where Harry Potter slept..

I liked this one a whole lot, as it doesn't try to be something it's not. Straightforward, honest, clean, tilting towards modernity, this carry caressing tanning framing the pretty fruit and palate cleansing acidity.

Classic CDP. Dark fruit of cassis, stewed blackberry, plum, and some clove spices round out the nose. Dark cherry, plum, and blackberry dominate the palate. Good structure and balance with medium weight tannins suggest aging at least another 10 years (2025).

Dark cherry tobacco
This wine is like chomping on a pencil, smoking a pipe full of peace, and eating dark ripened tree fruit. Lingering, secret whispering tannins keep back and forth across my tongue, with a weight to carry it all, which I will voluntarily do.
This 2010 drinking swell right now.
