2019 Domaine de la Font du Roi Châteauneuf-du-Pape Lieu Dit Les Combes

Cherries and red fruit on the nose. Palate pretty simple but balanced acidity and tannin. Moderate drying finish. I love CDP so I enjoyed it but I believe I paid less than $40 for this so it’s a good drinker with food mid week. Would not pay MSRP for it. I have 6 and will follow over the next few years.

Very enjoyable. Vanilla oak certainly dominates the nose. Plenty of fruit on the palate although nothing overly precise that I can lay out. Just enough acidity and tannin to give structure and balance. Finish comes back to the vanilla oak. Not the most complex but really enjoyable and easy to drink for me. Maybe better in a few years if the oak integrates but no need to wait if the mold strikes.

Didn’t decant but kept open for a couple of hours. The nose was very closed throughout. Grippy tannis and good acidity. Fruit is there but a little nondescript. It wasn’t interesting or compelling for me but OK for Monday night. Will see how it goes over a few more years. Reasonable quality for the price and good food wine.
