Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Full

Cork

A relatively savoury style of Châteauneuf, meaty almost, along with damson and plum compote notes. Touch of vanilla and espresso from the oak. This is open and ready to drink now, soft and yielding on the palate. Powerful alcohol however lets down the balance somewhat. Very long finish, however. No need to wait, but it will last. Grenache over 100 years old, Syrah is 35, all grown on sandstone.
