Château Mont-Redon

Réserve Côtes du Rhône Grenache Syrah 2022

9.0

Just gushing with smoky, roasted dark-herb-inflected, gushy berry fruit on the nose. Quite the rich nose. Intense on the palate as well. Big whack of savory, iodiney flavors competing with dark berry-skin fruit. It’s a bit tannic and bitterish on the finish, which makes it a little less-than-friendly by itself, but should pair nicely in a hour or so with my pasta with broccoli rabe and homemade salciccia. — 9 days ago

Never met a Chateauneuf I didn't like.

@Tom Casagrande, I always LOVE when you resort to posting “petty” tasting notes, since otherwise I’m always intimidated by your massively detailed, and outstanding, tasting notes (which I prefer, but not trying to be “petty” here)!! 🤷🤷

@Doug Powers - There were four additional wines. I couldn’t keep up!
