Community Tasting Note

La Cave d'Argent Likes this wine:

Friday, September 27, 2013 - This wine was double-decanted, allowing one hour in decanter prior to funneling back into the cleaned bottle. It was then presented in double-blind fashion to our Friday tasting group. My taste was unblinded. Deep garnet in color, this 12-year-old Châteauneuf shows excellent depth, complexity and ripeness. A bouquet of kirsch, blood orange, garrigue and licorice precedes a fresh, full-bodied, silky-textured palate (which has flavors mirroring the nose). The tannins are soft and the alcohol (listed as 14%) is nicely integrated. Very long on the finish, this is a wine which is clearly in "prime time." Drink now-2018.
