2007 Domaine Font de Michelle Châteauneuf-du-Pape

4/11/2024 - F1NUT Likes this wine: 92 points

A great bottle! Good cork. Initially very closed, tannic almost bitter but some black fruit underneath - I was worried. Decanted 4 hours before serving into a closed bottle, served blind. What a change! Sensational plum, mocha, liquorice, cedar, blackcurrant, truffle and wonderful things going on. Good acidity and those tannins while significant seemed softened. An excellent drink in a bracket of three about the same age but the Villeneuve won the popular vote.

Rich, ripe, baked red fruits, sweet spice. Equally rich and also slightly cloying on the palate, no discernible tannins, concentrated red berry fruit that, when combined with the alcohol, lends a sense of thickness. A little clumsy for me.

Very spicy - cinnamon, clove, allspice, black pepper. Plum and maybe black cherry sitting behind it but the spice is very up front. There's a certain firm density to it but not unenjoyable. Decanted 1 hour.

Hello to an old friend. Grenache nose, kirsch, red cherry fruit, white pepper, spices. Lovely sweet fruit on the palate, cherry, raspberry. Surprisingly fresh and lively, but such is 1999 in the southern Rhône. And there’s a thing with 100+ year old vines. Happy to have a few bottles left in the cellar.

BYO at Ariana II (Ariana II, Kilburn): Rich and saturated nose of Christmas cake with a prominent oak signature, some cooked strawberry. Broad and smooth with a touch of floral lift. Quite a solid, claggy palate for my taste: sweet and dense without much delineation.

Got far darker and better on the second day opened. Opaque with an inch pour. Fine nose of black currant and ripe blackberry. The sip has that near ideal combination of rich fruit, caressing texture, refreshing acidity, and tannin that is drying without being astringent, bitter, or grippy. Aging beautifully - well integrated and seamless with a smoked meat flavor. Overall, a superb example of why the Rhone River Valley is rightly famous for making concentrated wines that are delicious, tasty, fruity, and enjoyable.

Kept open for a week. Opaque but with a slight brown tone that reveals its 16 years in the bottle. The nose likewise exhibits a slight hint of oxidation with still noticeable raspberry fruit. The sip is broad and gentle with a softened texture. The tannin and acidity provide enough background structure to keep the taste from being flabby or bland. The swallow is a nicely balanced and enjoyable mix of fruit, acid, and tannin. Although on the down side after reaching a peak a few years earlier and probably better consumed soon, it still favorably shows the joys of drinking a well aged, rounded, integrated, and seamless Chateauneuf-du-Pape.

A strong showing for an 18 year old Chateauneuf that was our last bottle of Cuvee Etienne Gonnet. Opaque purple with colored bubbles. Visually the poured wine looked somewhat silty but this did not make the wine any less enjoyable. Tasty raspberry fruit throughout. Very nice mouth entry with refreshing acidity, a smooth texture, and well integrated tannin. Consistently one of the top 3 wines when drunk with 6 others at lunch and dinner across 5 days, with no additional deterioration. But probably best drunk up in the next 2 years.

Excellent vin. la très grande puissance (16 degrés) ne se fait pas ressentir grâce a la finesse des aromes et du toucher en bouche.
c'est complexe et prêt a boire

ESTG Châteauneuf-du-Pape: Higher octane style. Very spicy, peppery, really closed and concentrated. Not my cup of tea.

Deep with little age. Cherries on nose and palate with some herbiness. Palate slightly austere but good balance. Tannins firm but smooth. Little tertiary action at the moment.
