Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

2010

Took awhile to open, so perhaps it was a bit young. Really nice nose. Medium-bodied, decent balance of tannins and berries. My husband said that it “tasted like Chateauneuf du Pape”. No doubt it will pair well with the filets to come, but right now it goes great with Antoine’s bread.

When there’s a pope hat etched into the bottle... You know it’s going to be good.

One of the best bang for your buck that Rhône offers

Big fan. Saw a noted drinking window thru 2017 which made me nervous. But this is drinking great and doesn’t seem ready to fade any time soon. Yum.
