Réserve Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Outstanding CDP! Right in the drinking window! Blend of Grenache (80%), Syrah (10%) and Mourvèdre (10%). Beautiful balance of fruit (black cherry, cooked raspberries, and fig) and tertiary (black licorice, leather, graphite, earth and black pepper) aromas and flavors. Dark garnet color. Though quite concentrated and full bodied, this wine offers smooth tannins, a lovely texture and is extremely elegant. Thank You John P!

Fig and raspberry. Hints of rooibos tea. At a very good moment to drink. This wine requires patience to enjoy. It stays a little bit heady and awkward until 5-6 years from the vintage year. Now it is fully balanced and integrated.

Solid. Early to drink but worth the exploration. 5 yrs guessing more depth available.
