2015 Domaine Charvin Châteauneuf-du-Pape

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

Pale gold
Aromatics medium +. Mild cat pee, grassy/green herbs, initial grapefruit that changes to peach. No new oak
Palate has a medium body. Acid medium +. No phenolics. Alcohol medium. Orange, lemon, peach followed by peach candy and a salted rock finish
Finish has a medium + length. Balanced
Dry glass notes mimic the aromatics
Drink now, but has structure for more aging if desired

Blind tasting
Medium garnet, filtered
Aromatics medium +. Dark plum. Pencil shavings, leather and dust. No new oak
Palate has a medium + body. Acid medium +. Tannins medium +, medium grained on teeth and gums, but well integrated. Alcohol medium +. Tart and ripe cherry. Pyrazines including green bell pepper and Jalapeño.
Finish has a medium + length. Balanced
Dry glass notes of cedar, pencil lead, leather
I guessed a 2010 left bank Bordeaux
I'd drink now as tasting well, but could still age given structure
