Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend

2007 vertical, aged nicely

Superb spicy red fruit notes and the unmistaken alcohol of a CDP. Very good overall.

18 year old. Still some dark plum tones but now more earthy tones of pencil lead, flint, granite and tobacco. Nice and smooth.

In a great place rn. Tannins have softened, balanced, soft mouthfeel. Too high alcohol for me (15%), but it carries it well and is enjoyable nonetheless. A straight forward wine but a nice pairing with house of prime rib

Finally evolving into a beautiful drinker.

Earthy with great depth.

Mörk och röd frukt, bra syra och mastiga tanniner. Härlig balans och välintegrerad alkohol. I glaset kommer smör och saltlakrits efter en stund. Supersvår blindprovning!
