| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.8 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 9 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by cincybt on 6/16/2023 & rated 92 points: If you like older wines and have cellared this well or have good chain of custody, this is still drinking well. It’s downsloping but with plenty of flavor to savor. A well made CdP. (226 views) | | | Tasted by cincybt on 12/14/2020 & rated 93 points: This mature CdP had terrific qualities of pork, dried herbs, gravel and a surprise bit of fig. Showing signs of age, but in all the good ways, at least by my palate. Glad to be perching on a few more bottles. Only bottle decanted, so next time will likely decant. (696 views) | | | Tasted by vespasian on 9/28/2018: Developing nose, spice, leather. Dried fruits - a little volatile; nice fresh streak running through this on the palate. Still has a considerable tannic heft. Big for 2008. A bit international in style for me, not the purest Ch9. Chasing Parker points? (965 views) | | | Tasted by AV2012 on 8/30/2017 & rated 93 points: My WOTN, it was full of bacon and eggs. Clean taste of black fruits, well balanced, coffee on the palate and on the finish. Open and giving taste of milk chocolate, vanilla and caramel. (1435 views) | | | Tasted by Jeff Leve on 8/11/2014 & rated 89 points: Medium bodied, smoky, open, forward in style, this easy to drink wine, with its smoky, cherry and espresso bean core is ready for drinking.

A visit to Château La Nerthe Châteauneuf-du-Pape - https://unwindwine.blogspot.com/2019/08/a-visit-to-chateau-la-nerthe.html Red Rhone Blend Read about the different grapes used to produce red and white Rhone wines
On CellarTracker, Red Rhone Blend is the term for a wine consisting of two or more of the traditional 13 Southern Rhone grape varieties. Typically it's the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre or Cinsault grapes, but can also contain the Muscardin, Counoise, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Roussanne, Terret Noir, Picardan or Vaccarese grapes.
A 'food' wine. Lacking pretension and intended for local consumption with local cuisine. Lacks the 'high' notes on a Bordeaux, more earthy and sharper so often a better partner to meat dishes with a sauce.

"As I have written many times in the past, the sweet spot for drinking Châteauneuf du Papes is usually the first 5-6 years after the vintage. Then they seem to go through an adolescent, awkward, and sometimes dormant stage, only to re-emerge around year 10-12, where the majority of wines are often fully mature. The best of them will continue to hold on to life (but rarely improving) beyond 15-20 years. It is only the exceptional Châteauneuf du Papes that will evolve for 20-25+ years, and those are indeed a rarity. However, things may be improving dramatically in terms of the longevity of Châteauneuf du Pape, although Grenache-dominated wines, the vast majority of wines produced in the appellation, are wines that do not have the polyphenol (extract and tannin) content of top Cabernet Sauvignons, Merlots, or Syrah-based wines. Nevertheless, the younger generation in Châteauneuf du Pape has taken seriously the farming in the vineyards. There are more organic and biodynamically run vineyards here than in any other appellation of France. The yields, which were already low, are even lower today (20-35 hectoliters per hectare), and of course, the proliferation of top luxury and/or old-vine cuvées gives a significant boost to the number of wines that will evolve past 25 or 30 years. The advantage of these wines is their broad window of drinkability." - Robert Parker
