Tasting notes
Brilliant ruby-red. Lively, spice-tinged red fruit and garrigue on the fragrant nose and a spicy element building in the glass. Gently sweet and seamless on the palate, offering fresh raspberry and spicecake flavors that flesh out with air. Subtle tannins give shape to a nervy, incisive and persistent finish that leaves a peppery note behind.

The 2013 Chateauneuf du Pape Domaine du Vieux Lazaret should be a good, yet not ground-breaking effort. Dark fruits, leather, licorice and herbal notes all give way to a medium-bodied, traditionally styled effort that’s best drunk over the coming 5-7 years.
A blend of 60% Grenache, 23% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre and the rest Cinsault and other permitted varieties, the 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape is a solid, enjoyable effort that gives up classic leather, garrigue, kirsch and wild-herb-like aromas and flavors. Brought up mostly in concrete tank (15% in barrel), enjoy this medium-bodied, elegant effort over the coming 4-5 years.
