  Châteauneuf-du-Pape with my boy!; 4/15/2024-4/17/2024 (Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, France): Pear and almond, anise. This opens with a lot of trapped C02 that quickly dissipates. Definitely decant-the first sip was almost like an off-dry Riesling! Ahh, tangerine moves to a salty, very full and complete palate, nice structure to it, end to end, very mouthfilling, a nice balance of pepper, spice and more restrained focused fruit, driven, finishing quite salty.

  Lusciously textured with a focus on its tropical fruit, flowers, white peach, yellow citrus peel, almonds, apricot, and orange. On the palate, the wine is fresh, racy, and vibrant with a crispness to the fruits and an oily texture in the sweet finish. Made from close to equal percentages of all 6 allowable, white wine grape varietals. Drink from 2023-2035.
