Sunday, December 14, 2008 - This Chateauneuf was simply awesome. As soon I as uncorked it, kitchen was smelling black olives all over the place. Not decanted (put in a decanter for service only), I could not help myself smelling the wine. Complex and enticing with black olives, light milk chocolate with raisin (but not the dry ones, kind of the ones you put in rhum to they can imbibe the rhum), hint of kirsh...
Med body, mild acidity and smooth tannins, it is very well balanced and shows great fruits with again that black olives and kirsh without never being jammy nor too alcoholic. Finish is long. I fell in love with this wine !
Bottle was in perfect condition with no ullage.
