| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.6 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 6 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by saturnaisland on 8/27/2017 & rated 91 points: A nice mature wine. Some bricking but overall good dark red colour except around the edges. Top half of cork broke off as I was trying to open it, so once I finally got it open, I decanted it. Not a huge amount of sediment. Good fruit red and black flavours with some plumminess. Perhaps not particularly complex, but overall very enjoyable. And good value. I note the alcohol is listed as 13.5 % - seems in the ballpark. (1351 views) | | | Tasted by JohnSh on 11/20/2010 & rated 90 points: I thought this was in a nice place. Not an extravagent style of CDP, more a burgundian style. Lots of earthy leather notes on the light - medium bodied palate, with cherry and plum notes too. A very feminine style that is drinking well now, and is probably at its plateau (A-). (3839 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Andersen on 6/29/2006: Slightly pruney and dried out on the nose. Not much happening. In the mouth, it has a little more fruit than I expected based on the nose, but it's still a lean, rather dried out, pruney style. Not my favorite. (4269 views) | | | Tasted by lac14 on 4/8/2006 & rated 87 points: Simple red fruit flavors such as strawberry, and smooth and elegant mouthfeel. However lacked some of the spicy, smoky, and intensity that I love and expect from a Chateauneuf du Pape. (4442 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
