France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
still tightly wound after double decanting for a couple of hours. could be little shut down. structurally longer and more powerful than the Pignan but the latter is more enjoyable at this stage. store away for now.
didn't have time to decant but still very fragrant with lovely notes of violet and dried herbs. tannins a little harsh on the finish. definitely need to decant for at least an hour next time.
