Tasting notes
Beautiful rich but fresh nose with black fruits, raspberry, kirsch, smoked gamey meat and spice. No discernable oak on the nose. Lovely and chewy with good grip and a fresh acidity. Alcohol well integrated. Brilliant, long finish.

Dried red fruits, forest floor, garrigue and tobacco introduce the 2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape, a medium- to full-bodied red that has entered its prime drinking window. Totally rounded and refined, the savory 2010 concludes with excellent freshness on the long finish.
Dark purple. Aromas and flavors of cherry compote, black raspberry and candied flowers. Densely packed but lithe and precise, with gentle tannins sneaking in on the finish. Showing noteworthy richness and power for an entry-level bottling, with the concentration to age slowly.
