Note di degustazione
Harvest before the rains and hitting a whopping 16.2% alcohol, the 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Fiancee (an equal split of Grenache and Syrah) certainly has a modern flair, but is nevertheless a smoking effort that's loaded with notions of cassis, blackberry, truffle, olive tapenade and pepper. Big, voluptuous, concentrated and full-bodied, it's still young and unevolved, and will have more than two decades of overall longevity.

(50% each of grenache and syrah) Deep ruby. Powerfully scented, youthfully brooding bouquet of kirsch, cassis, licorice and smoky minerals. Fresher red berries on the palate, with sweet notes of cola and anise; picks up a suave black raspberry quality that carries through the long, sappy finish. I wouldn't open one of these any time soon.
(a 50/50 blend of grenache and syrah) Youthful purple. Exotically perfumed bouquet of blackberry, kirsch, sandalwood and dried flowers. Fresh dark berry preserve flavors are firmed by solid but harmonious tannins, and pick up a slightly warm note on the close (this is 16.2% alcohol). A serious style, with good finishing grip and length.
