Popped and poured. Nose to die for and palate to match pretty much sums it up. A winner drinking at peak.
Delicious red raspberry fruit with burnished tannins thst create a texture like cashmere. Beautiful garrigue character and a minerality that conjures up visions of galets roules :)
Made with grenache, syrah, mourvedre, counoise and cinsault that are destemmed and cofermented. Vineyards are located in the northern portion of the appellation.
Jean-Paul Daumen's efforts honor the uniqueness of terroir in Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
Day 2
No significant signs of fading. Just a bit more mellow since yesterday. This could easily last another few years and still be at peak, I would expect.
Beautiful fruit, and really a lovely nose on this wine, that says classic Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
2nd half of bottle went well with grilled veal chop.
