Tuesday, April 23, 2024 - Medium garnet
Aromatics medium +. Black plum. Potpourri. Dry wood. Dry earth. Graphite. No new oak.
Palate has a medium + body. Acid medium +. Tannins medium +, medium grained on the teeth and gums. Alcohol medium +. Dried and ripe dark plums, almost a syrup note. Black ash
Finish has a medium + length. Balanced, but tannins still need more integration
Dry glass notes of potpourri.
Well made, dark themed chateauneuf de pape. Just not my favorite style of wine
I would recommend holding next bottle for a few more years to let tannins integrate more
