Note di degustazione
I loved the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Alexis Establet, and this 100% old vine Grenache beauty gives up classic notes of roasted herbs, black licorice, loads of sweet Grenache fruit and that savory, meaty characteristic reminiscent of caramelized pan drippings. Full-bodied, layered and decadent, with sweet tannin and no hard edges, it’s beautiful today but will keep for another decade or more.

More serious and deep than the traditional, the 2007 Domaine du Grand Tinel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Alexis Establet sports loads of southern Rhône flare with licorice, earthy, mineral notes and smoke all supported by gorgeous Grenache fruit. Medium to full bodied, fresh, balanced and with a tannic, long finish, this stunning Châteauneuf will drink well over the following 12 to 15 years.
(100% grenache) Dark ruby. Ripe black raspberry and cherry on the nose, with complicating notes of rose, incense and smoky minerals. Brighter red fruits join the dark berries on the supple, sweet, seamless palate. This appealing wine displays good back-end lift and lingering dark fruit character.
Full, bright red. Deep red and dark berry preserve and kirsch aromas are complicated by smoky herbs and licorice. Slightly warm, with rich, creamy blackberry and boysenberry flavors and no obvious tannins. Plenty of dense fruit here but I'd have liked a bit more vivacity. (The 2007 cuvee called Heres showed a superripe, stewy quality.)
