“Full-bodied and heady, with plenty of ripeness and an earthy, savory dimension. Brown bread, tobacco and a salty tug of tar augment ripe cherry and wild garrigue. Shows impressive depth and finesse, with alder smoke wafting through the finely polished, long and full finish. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Vaccarèse and Muscardin. Drink now through 2040. 900 cases made, 900 cases imported.”
“Medium ruby-hued and cut from the same cloth, yet with slightly more focus, purity, and precision, the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Vieilles Vignes offers ripe black raspberries, mulled cherries, pepper, blood orange, and floral nuances. It's medium to full-bodied, with a pure, layered, elegant yet focused mouthfeel, and reveals plenty of tannins and a gorgeous finish. Drink 2025-2038.”
