  Charles Thomas' 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a deep ruby blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre and 10% Cinsault. From a bottle that was uncorked and poured over a two-hour period, it seemed to benefit from at least an hour of air exposure. Ultimately unfurling an aromatic profile of dark plums, Provençal herbs, black olive tapenade and mulling spices, it is a medium-bodied red that delivers flavors mirroring the nose and has no detectable wood. When served at 60-65°F the wine's alcohol (listed as 14.5%) stays in check. Solid on the middle palate, it progresses to a lengthy finish that carries some tannic grip. This is a credible Châteauneuf for the price. Despite the astringency on the back end, it is quite drinkable and should provide pleasure for several more years. Drink now-2027.

  Pleasant, but nothing memorable. Decent QPR.

  Nice drink. Bright cherry and strawberry flavors with some acidity.
