Zoekerdutch Likes this wine:

Wednesday, August 25, 2021 - Bosquet des Papes, Cuvee tradition, Chateauneuf du Pape 2006 15% alcohol

Appearance
Medium intensity, garnet colour.

Nose
Medium intensity, primary aromas floral, and prominent red fruit, strawberry, and pretty much the whole spectrum of black fruits , and some spice, hint of dried herbs. Tertiary sensations include earth.

Palate
Dry, with medium acidity, soft medium tannins, high alcohol and full bodied. Intense flavours of lots of fruit, prominent black berries, cherry notes, some plum. Also some spiciness, pepper. Some cedar, wood impressions, cloves, and earth-like tertiary aromas. Long finish.

Conclusions
A well balanced mature wine which still has a lot of fruit sensations, with well identifiable characteristics, complexity and a long finish. Overall an excellent wine, which drinks very well on its own.
