  Fruit forward, noticeable heat. Not many savory elements. Wife loved it; just ok for me.

  Palate: Huge, full bodied with heavy mouthfeel. Typical southern rhone notes: sweet dark fruits, herbs - garrigue. Not much earth. Easy to drink but you can taste the high alcohol.
  
  Acid: Low/medium
  
  Tannins: low, if any
  
  A wine for the wintertime/cold weather. 15.5% abv. As a pinot person i could only have a glass or two.

  This is quite a nice Châteauneuf-du-Pape that provides very good value for the price. It is fruity, supple, soft, pleasant and ready to drink even at the moment. It is displaying nice notes of dark fruits and berries, herbs and spices. This wine is very suitable for near and mid-term drinking, but it is not the best option for longer storage.

  Sweet cherries, herbs and strawberries with freshness, refinement and a forward approach makes this a perfect candidate for loads of early drinking, refined pleasure. Drink from 2022 - 2029.

  Dark red colour.
  On the nose very expressive, grand, a great experience in itself, dark fruit; blueberry, leather, undergrowth in a forest, garrigue.
  On the palate the attack is potent, massive fruit; blueberry, purple plum, blackberry, black cherry, leather, maybe the slightest hint of brett that only adds to the overall positive impression. Medium tannins, nice acidity.
  This wine leaves very little to want.
  Wonderful as a stand-alone wine to sip with good conversation, but would also be great with a autumn stew with red meat and mushrooms.
