France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Looks very young still, just a little browning at the edges; nose is lively and vibrant, with fresh red fruit, but also a bit closed and slightly bretty, evolves quickly in the glass; silky and harmonious palate, attractive, fresh fruit, ripe tannins, good balance, mourvedre provides structure, develops chocolaty notes; very good length.
Typical young JJ Prüm nose, wild yeast and sulphur, peach and lime coming through; light and vibrant palate, off-dry, good ripeness of fruit, green apple; decent length.
Immense power and richness, deep and peaty and briny, but there is a rounded fruitiness that avoids brutality, excellent length. Champions' league whisky. Wow.

Rich and slightly oxidative style, candied fruit, quite rich and ripe but no lack of verve, good length.

Quite herbal and dry, little real Viognier character, not much length either.
