Tasting notes
The 2014 Châteauneuf du Pape checks in as 75% Grenache and 25% Syrah that hit a whopping 15% natural alcohol, of which it doesn’t show a trace. Loaded with ripe red and black fruits, spice, peppery herbs and licorice, this medium-bodied, charming and downright classy beauty has sweet tannin and a great finish. Drink it anytime over the coming 7-8 years

(aged in new and used demi-muids and barriques for 18 months): Brilliant ruby-red. Black raspberry, Indian spices and potpourri on the highly perfumed nose. Sappy and densely packed, offering supple red and dark berry compote flavors and a touch of lavender pastille that builds on the back half. Closes supple and broad, displaying harmonious tannins, resonating spiciness and excellent clarity.
Tasted blind. Pinkish purple. Some oak on the nose and some rather rasping tannins on the finish. The fruit is not really getting a chance to express itself. Weak finish. (JR)
