  Exotic nose brimming with Asian spices and super ripe black and red fruits, garlands of garden herbs such as rosemary and lavender. The palate is medium-full bodied with good acidity and rugged tannins that needed the fat and protein of Chinese food to tame them. This was incredible with the Four Seasons but takes a step down on its own. Gushing with sweet, ultra-ripe fruit, but doesn't seem over-ripe at all. Drink now-2025 92

  Mature and a bit porty, whether due to the richness of the Grenache coming through, or the alcohol content, or both. Still an excellent glass of wine, preferably with rich beefy food to show its best.

  In an excellent place now. First notes of leather and tar blew off, followed by a rich, long finish, bramble berries with hints of a strong tannic grip and a slightly flinty finish. Very nice.

  Rich, a wee bit burning alcohol, lots of local spice, a manly wine - and a food wine, quite typical for the vintage. #RH-A

  A full bodied, well balanced Chateauneuf de Pape. Plenty of bramble fruit overlayed with spice. Went well with a BBQ.
