I don't know what this might have been like several years ago but at the moment it has subdued fruit, maybe a bit of a herbal note, restrained (limited?) nose. An acceptable backdrop to a grilled rack of lamb but not a wine that you'd pay attention to. (665 views) | | | Tasted by wss on 6/3/2014 & rated 90 points: This wine has continued to develop with cellaring. Drinking well now but my last bottle will live another year or two. Typical Grenache nose. Deep cherry on the taste. Very enjoyable. (5785 views) | | | Tasted by ccarter5181 on 10/13/2013 & rated 88 points: Decanted 1 hour. Slightly brick red color. Nice perfumed grenache nose. Nice initial flavor with good secondary flavors. Medium body. Finish is a bit disjointed with a sour note. For the money, I was disappointed. (5865 views) | | | Tasted by Kriska on 5/26/2013 & rated 93 points: Very good aroma of Berries. Ready to drink but will continue to age. Very good wine (6186 views) | | | Tasted by gojessop on 10/23/2011 & rated 88 points: A bit light (7104 views) | | | Tasted by KevinMc on 6/13/2011 & rated 88 points: Great nose of chocolate and blueberry jam. Doesn't quite come together on the palate, as there is too much sourness on the front end. Regardless, it is big and enjoyable with lots of dark flavours. (6755 views) | | | Tasted by Double-A on 5/17/2011 & rated 93 points: Aromatic, red apple skin, cherry blossom and cherry jam nose. Full, firm and assertive; strong flavour replays with a long floral (lilly) finish.
4.5/5 (390 views) | | | Tasted by gharbour on 8/15/2010 & rated 84 points: Engagement Celebration at Nick and Colleens (Nick and Colleens Apartment in Luxembourg): Thanks to Nick for sharing this wine. It was a good solid match for the eggplant parmesan lasagna. Decanted for 1.5 hours the wine was a nice dark color and intense. A floral vegetable nose. While not as complex as a more expensive CdP it was full of concentrated blueberries and pepper. Maybe a little sharp on the balance. (3869 views) |

| 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
