Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache Blend

Amazing long finish like I remembered! Beautiful balance and long 45+ sec finish. Need to find a few more bottles!

Stupid good - not fully mature by a long shot - but old enough!

Drawing our tasting notes without words

Very pleasant,earth and some Syrah spice. Went well with lamb chops

Solid.

Quite austere, maybe a few years past its prime, nose redolent of Grenache, but palate very restrained, reminiscent of faded fruit. Quite tannic actually. J says you can really sense the “vielles vignes”. Very good but would love to try something newer, maybe a 2015
