| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.8 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 19 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Pipes&Pips on 2/23/2024 & rated 88 points: Raspberry, sour cherry, licorice, dust, a little funk. Medium body, medium finish. (143 views) | | | Tasted by AlphaMikeFoxtrot on 1/8/2023 & rated 91 points: Red raspberries, black cherries, a hint of barnyard funk, tarragon and black pepper on the nose. Raspberries, dust, bacon grease and smoke on the palate which ends with garrigue and black licorice notes. Overall great intensity of both flavors and aromas.
Medium + body with medium, lingering tannins and medium acid. (607 views) | | | Tasted by Momus99 on 10/30/2021 & rated 90 points: Didn’t take detailed notes but balanced and enjoyable. (846 views) | | | Tasted by Momus99 on 8/22/2021: Not giving a numerical rating since I think this is in a slightly dumb phase. That said, it appears to have structure (specifically, ample tannin and acid) to support a long life. The nose and palate are kind of unidimensional and dominated by sour cherry, black licorice, and olive tapenade. Opened up partially after an hour decant, but I feel like this still needs time to develop.
Addendum-Tasted again after two days under vacuum. Unfortunately this doesn’t portend too well as with a half hour of air started having some not entirely pleasant stewed prune and mushroom-type flavors. (894 views) | | | Tasted by oakville72 on 6/15/2021 & rated 90 points: Medium red ruby with some browning on the edges. Obvious Grenache nose with some elements of rose petal. Entry rather rough with lots of glycerine, salt and cooked orange from the Grenache, plenty of tannins and an alcohol afterburner. A bit shy on fruit. Needs time to soften if the fruit will hold. (461 views) | | | Tasted by Momus99 on 12/27/2020 & rated 90 points: Decanted 2h. Not effusive but not too reticent either. Balanced, typical Grenache-dominant nose and palate. Medium finish. Went well with lamb. Noah liked. (1062 views) | | | Tasted by sorp222 on 12/19/2020 & rated 90 points: camp fire, plum, brambles, acidity and tannins in a lovely two step. Much more enjoyable than the pro reviews indicated. (296 views) | | | Tasted by Blauweiss on 7/17/2020 & rated 89 points: Good, in ny view rahter classic CNdP, with more red berries than dark fruits, medium tannin and fresh acidity. Needs food to shine, as it may appear a bit drying othervise.
Fresh red berries and fruits, some herbs, good length. (1279 views) | | | Tasted by AMC Eagle on 7/7/2019 & rated 91 points: Popped and poured. Has a medium somewhat muddy ruby red in colour; nose of red and black cherries and raspberries with some garrigue and a hint of leather. On the palate, there are peppery kirsch notes with some provencal herbs and sweet plums. Medium bodied with a medium finish; seems to be awright to drink now as the tannins were hardly noticeable. Served with grilled chicken. (1601 views) | | | Tasted by Zweder on 4/8/2017 & rated 91 points: Printemps du Châteauneuf-du-Pape tasting. (La salle des fêtes in Châteauneuf-du-Pape): Red and dark berries and cherries. Ripe fruits, good acidity and a touch of sweetness. Mild tannin. Excellent wine. (3471 views) | | | Tasted by Momus99 on 9/17/2016 & rated 92 points: Tasted alongside 2014's (standard cuvees) from Vieux Donjon and Usseglio, this showed both more balance between fruit and savory (black olive, leather) notes AND more structure with sufficient tannin and acidity to go the distance. Enjoyable now but definitely a vin de garde. (2372 views) | | | Tasted by Jeff Leve on 9/7/2015 & rated 91 points: Licorice and black cherries abound in this charmer. Silky in texture, forward in style, this is quite nice for the vintage. (3857 views) |

| Bosquet des Papes Producer website - Read more about Bosquet des PapesRed Rhone Blend Read about the different grapes used to produce red and white Rhone wines
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
