Wednesday, April 26, 2023 - Drinking well now and quite enjoyable!

(9/22/2019) Instead of buying often pricey Châteauneuf-du-Papes, I've been buying and drinking a lot of Gigondas lately. Interesting to try this well-priced Châteauneuf-du-Pape in comparison. The Gigondas are generally more rough and rustic, more earthy, and often lack any oak aging. This Châteauneuf-du-Pape shows the softer side of grenache and finishes with an afterburner of alcohol — typical of the 2016s. All in all, a good value that needs at least 5 more years to come together. Tasted twice.
