1990 Chateauneuf du Pape

Mont Redon has been utilizing some small oak barrels for aging a percentage of their red wine, and this has resulted in an almost Bordeaux-like structure and austerity in certain vintages. The 1990 displays deep ruby color, a ripe, medium to full-bodied, highly structured feel on the palate, plenty of tannin, and a closed, firm style. After bottling, there is significantly less to the wine than prior to its filtration. Drink it over the next 4-8 years before it dries out.
