  ESTG Châteauneuf-du-Pape: Powerful, young, very pure Grenache, white pepper, called blind as highly reminiscent of Charvin, "I don't know anything that tastes like this other than Charvin." Let it age, this is a baby!

  15% abv. O what has become of my beloved Charvin? This might as well be Spanish - it's garnet and clear, and smells like black and red raspberry jam, then figs in honey and wax tarts. Alcohol is + The palate is grippy, but this lacks grace, finesse and midpalate fruit. Tannins are chalky which is fine, but this is liqueur-like and hot.

  Good. Fine. Nice. Closed and thin at first. Opened up after a while. Traditional, not fruit-forward, style. Will revisit

  Opened it and drank a glass after 2 hrs, it was very closed, heavy on acidity, very minor fruit and medium tannins. It started to emerge after 4 hrs. Vacuumed and refrigerated overnight. Second day, let it open for 2 hrs and viola! Beautiful red and prune fruit with anise and wet stone minerality, velvet tannins and still firm acidity. Medium to full body, nice density of flavor, delicious.
