Note di degustazione
The 2012 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Tradition is fully mature, featuring scents of roasted meat, hints of mushroom and garrigue to go with hints of dried cherries and plums. It's full-bodied, round and ripe, with resolved tannins. Drink up.

45% Clairette, 30% Grenache Blanc, 20% Bourboulenc, 5% others. Furry texture, richly oxidative fruit with orange peel notes. Soft and fluffy on the palate but the freshness seems on its way out. (RH)
Vivid ruby-red. Spice-tinged red berry, cherry and lavender scents are complemented by deeper suggestions of candied licorice. On the palate, taut redcurrant, bitter cherry and floral pastille flavors put on weight and gain sweetness with aeration while maintaining vivacity. The floral quality gains power on the finish, which features supple tannins and a touch of smokiness. Very drinkable now but I'd hold off on uncorking this wine for a couple more years.
