| Community Tasting Notes (average 89 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 96 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Marcus R on 10/17/2023 & rated 94 points: Definately a mature wine, maybe half-brick brown/reddish and very complex on the nose, there is so much going on. Reduced fruit, even more awesome than I remember it back in 2009. I still have a few bottles left that I will keep for many more years. (324 views) | | | Tasted by chatters on 9/11/2022: Sunday lunch with the Wine-Ark boys (Porcine, Oxford Street): Savoury, slightly meaty, a little pepper, blackberry and raspberry, alcohol helps with that peppery impression. Acidity is juicy which lends freshness but there is a fair mid palate grip as well as plenty of breadth. Yum. (1150 views) | | | Tasted by gout on 11/8/2020 & rated 89 points: Full colour, mature nose, full flavoured plenty of fruit & long finish. (2014 views) | | | Tasted by chatters on 10/20/2020: IWS reprise (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Bright red berry fruit, plenty of sweet spice, cream, a little sour cherry underpin with orange peel, alcohol prickle, touches of garrigue and, with time, the fruit ripens and thickens. Juicy acidity, alcohol warmth helps to make the mouth water, red berry fruit, a little muted, tannins are medium minus intensity but silky and persist long. On the finish leather and that orange peel note though not bitter or astringent. Nice. (1979 views) | | | Tasted by Duncan H on 8/26/2020 & rated 92 points: Simply stupendous! (2017 views) | | | Tasted by chatters on 6/5/2020: From Coravin. dusty baked red berry underpinned by black pepper, garrigue and charcuterie. With time some baked earth, slight mushroom and leather...and it smells 'fresh'. In the mouth it's juicy, fresh and fleshy with baked red berry, dusty spice and black pepper growing on the long finish. Soft tannins and a little alcohol warmth. Easy. (1917 views) | | | Tasted by chatters on 4/29/2020: From Coravin. Red berry, garrigue, leather, earth, slight herbaceous underpin and a touch of meat. Juicy, stewed red berries, slight herbaceous notes, tannins are silkier than I remember, touch of alcohol warmth. Hmm. (1771 views) | | | Tasted by hargy on 5/2/2019: strangely this was 'gone' - no bouquet or fruit - did not smell off just past its 'use by' date - not rated (1648 views) | | | Tasted by chatters on 9/14/2018: Coravin fun - Ready to drink (Kennards, Waterloo): From Coravin. A little bit flat and a little bit meaty/funky initially. With agitation it shows baked red berries and cherries over a little savoury spice and baked herbs. On the palate its juicy and savoury, quite baked fruits, herbs and peppery spice before chalky tannic burr across the mid palate closes things down. Hmm. Bit out of whack but historical tasting teaches me that if I leave this for another ten years it will come good. (2368 views) | | | Tasted by Lars1974 on 5/25/2018 & rated 89 points: Lots of fruit and herbs. Nice tannins and oak. Bit of warmth from the alcohole. Classic CdP at entry-level. Good value for money! Very nice right now. (2495 views) | | | Tasted by Rich.Herbs on 1/27/2018: Nice and smooth with some depth. Drink up. (2643 views) | | | Tasted by rwpalmer on 12/4/2017 & rated 89 points: Finally this has come together and the austerity is no more. Red fruit fading away to autumnal notes. Actually quite elegant. (2655 views) | | | Tasted by czar33 on 5/1/2016 & rated 88 points: Assez complexe, kirsch et alcool, cuir etc. mais pas trop long. Équilibre. Tuilé légèrement. Plus léger qu'opulent. À boire. (4987 views) | | | Tasted by jgh123 on 3/20/2016 & rated 89 points: I've previously rated this wine 90-91 but it didn't show quite as well this time. Still, full bodied and integrated, just lacking depth. All the same, it's a nice "casual" wine. Drink up. (4482 views) | | | Tasted by Rich.Herbs on 2/22/2016: Good, enjoyable wine that worked well with Mediterranean food and stood up on its own from nose to finish. However, like my previous tastings, I feel it lacks the character of a CDP, failing to transport me to Rhône valley. Still a bit rustic (which helped with the food), I'd drink within 2 years for fear that more aging emphasizes the lack of character. (4094 views) | | | Tasted by AV2012 on 11/14/2015 & rated 91 points: Garnacha / Grenache: From magnum. Enticing bouquet of dried cherries, butter and note of herbs. Complex nose and palate, round tannins, soft texture, utterly drinkable. Classy wine. (4590 views) | | | Tasted by Erik12000 on 11/7/2015: Full bodied, cherries and dark red fruit. A slight dryness towards the end. Very good now but doubt it will inprove with further aging. (4078 views) | | | Tasted by werner on 4/20/2015 & rated 90 points: Quite the nose, came through immediately upon opening and filled the air. Dark fruit, some liquorice and dried fruits on nose. More of the same on the palate, full bodied with decent length and depth. Enjoyable CDP from a good year. Drank from magnum. (2295 views) | | | Tasted by Phenol73 on 3/7/2015 & rated 91 points: Violets, mushroom, blackberries and red cherries. Starting to show some tertiary forest floor flavours. A good mouthfeel and a clean freshness coming from the red fruit spectrum. Tannins are slightly dusty / rustic. (2267 views) | | | Tasted by asgerG on 1/13/2015 & rated 87 points: D20min. Dark red, 5.5. Rather youngish spicy/pebber you nose. Harmonious structured palate. Wait 5years. Uncharming right now, but maybe five years wil soften it up. (2294 views) | | | Tasted by Rich.Herbs on 11/12/2014: Similar to my last tasting, but the wine seems more integrated, with a slight rustic aspect which is an improvement. It was a pleasure during dinner. (2160 views) | | | Tasted by drum-wine on 9/13/2014 & rated 87 points: Wasn't persuading at all. Old CndP styl. kind of dusty celler, very restrained.
We had a 2006 the same night - our group was divided, half liked the 05, the other half 06 better. But nobody was fond of these mont-redon (compared to clos de l'oratoire and clos des papes) (1896 views) | | | Tasted by Blauweiss on 8/3/2014 & rated 89 points: Needs air, but then reveals a great chateauneuf-nose, with red berrie fruit, leather and roses. Taste is medium bodied, good length and no signs of alcohol. Not extremely complex, a more Classic style. (2134 views) | | | Tasted by Puteljen! on 8/1/2014 & rated 88 points: Fruit is perhaps a bit thin for the high acidity, but good structure and character. A food wine. Very enjoyable. (2060 views) | | | Tasted by Andre Brattland on 7/30/2014 & rated 87 points: Not a very special wine, but works with meat. Good for the price. It`s not nessecary to save this in your cellar, drink up. (1997 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

Technical Data Sheet
Château Mont-Redon Châteauneuf-du-PapeThe first mention of this illustrious vineyard in Châteauneuf-du-Pape dates back to 1334 under the name 'Mons Retundus', in a contract stipulating the vigneron's share of the harvest. Later it became 'Mourredon' meaning 'round hill' and finally Château Mont-Redon. Today, Mont-Redon is an estate of 330 acres, of which 200 are planted in vines. It is situated in the northwestern quadrant of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation on the high, stony plateau overlooking the Rhône River considered to be the finest microclimate of the region. Mont-Redon's extradordinary position, at an altitude of 360 feet on Châteauneuf-du-Pape's highest elevation, is one of very few to include all three soils types found in the appellation including classic alpine diluvium soils with large, round stones over a clay subsoil. Planted in Grenache and Syrah, these soils lend structure and backbone to the fruit. At the foot of the plateau, sheltered sandy soils support the Mourvèdre and Cinsault vines, which in this environment develop richness and intense aromatic qualities. The vines of the Châteauneuf estate average 45 years of age, and replanting of new vines takes place amidst the older vines in order to moderate the former's growth and productivity. All of the grapes at the estate are handpicked and then 90-95% de-stemmed before crushing, fermentation and aging. This is the first cuvee, which is typically 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre and spends 6-8 months in new oak before racking and then 6-8 more months in barrel. Look for this stylish wine to show robust flavors of dark cherry, crushed red berries and pepper with notes of chocolate and citrus peel on the nose, set in a ripe, integrated tannic structure and ending in a long, sweet finish.Red 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
