| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.2 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by AURUM on 4/1/2021 & rated 87 points: Darker than expected. Medium red with maturity tone. 30 minutes decant. Dry nose, cellar, cement, earthy. Has lost some fruit. Red berries, soft, complex, with balanced acidity. Warm (15%), with dry aftertaste. Good with entrècôte and red wine sauce. (534 views) | | | Tasted by AURUM on 11/3/2017 & rated 88 points: Decanted 30 minutes. Red with maturity notes. Slightly watery rim. Nice nose of red and dark berries, quite complex, herbal spices. Opens up with time in the glass. Taste is dry, earthy, spicy and warm. More red than dark berries, soft tannines and medium finish. I think it will continue to develop with cellering for another 2-3 years. (1284 views) | | | Tasted by rbrater on 8/30/2014 & rated 88 points: Heavy on the Grenache. Typical cassis, earthy acidity found in Rhone blends. Medium body with only a hint of tannins. Smooth, balanced fruit. Went very well with fatty French food. Would definitely drink again. (2441 views) | | | Tasted by Rezy13 on 8/30/2013: Very dark red; a little reductive at first which may be a good sign for an '09, intense red tart fruit, old-school style, wild berry, subtle; garrigue on the palate out the wazoo, red and dark wild berry, bright raspberry and cranberry, ripe though not overripe at all, Grenachey finish, some depth but this lacks a little nobility for me, may not call this as CdP if tasted blind. (2568 views) | | | Tasted by GTFreek on 5/28/2013: First off, the cellartracker value on this is way off, check the other vintages that show it at mid $30s. Mostly Grenache/Mouvedre, but has all 13 allowed grapes. 12 months in oak. The Grenache in this dominates, but there's definitely more to it as well. Pretty interesting how the other grapes interplay with the typical sweet pepper. Excellent balance of nose, fruit, acidity and light to medium tannins. Old World style but approachable and a drink now. (2553 views) |

On CellarTracker, Red Rhone Blend is the term for a wine consisting of two or more of the traditional 13 Southern Rhone grape varieties. Typically it's the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre or Cinsault grapes, but can also contain the Muscardin, Counoise, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Roussanne, Terret Noir, Picardan or Vaccarese grapes.
A 'food' wine. Lacking pretension and intended for local consumption with local cuisine. Lacks the 'high' notes on a Bordeaux, more earthy and sharper so often a better partner to meat dishes with a sauce.

"As I have written many times in the past, the sweet spot for drinking Châteauneuf du Papes is usually the first 5-6 years after the vintage. Then they seem to go through an adolescent, awkward, and sometimes dormant stage, only to re-emerge around year 10-12, where the majority of wines are often fully mature. The best of them will continue to hold on to life (but rarely improving) beyond 15-20 years. It is only the exceptional Châteauneuf du Papes that will evolve for 20-25+ years, and those are indeed a rarity. However, things may be improving dramatically in terms of the longevity of Châteauneuf du Pape, although Grenache-dominated wines, the vast majority of wines produced in the appellation, are wines that do not have the polyphenol (extract and tannin) content of top Cabernet Sauvignons, Merlots, or Syrah-based wines. Nevertheless, the younger generation in Châteauneuf du Pape has taken seriously the farming in the vineyards. There are more organic and biodynamically run vineyards here than in any other appellation of France. The yields, which were already low, are even lower today (20-35 hectoliters per hectare), and of course, the proliferation of top luxury and/or old-vine cuvées gives a significant boost to the number of wines that will evolve past 25 or 30 years. The advantage of these wines is their broad window of drinkability." - Robert Parker
