Note di degustazione
Bright purple. Powerful aromas of blueberry, licorice and pungent flowers, with vibrant white pepper and mineral overtones. Dense, sweet and pliant, offering sappy black and blue fruit, lavender pastille and anise flavors enlivened by tangy acidity. Dusty tannins build through a clinging, appealingly sweet finish that leaves a note of dark fruit liqueur behind. I suspect that this one will be a slow ager.

The old vine cuvée 2012 Châteauneuf du Pape Etienne Gonnet is mostly Grenache, aged in old demi-muid, that’s made in a graceful, elegant and seamless style. Its dark ruby/semi-transparent color is followed by classic Grenache sweetness of fruit, garrigue, seaweed and crushed-flower-like aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, ripe and yet weightless on the palate, it makes you (me anyways) want to pour another glass. It will have 10-15 years of longevity.
Brilliant ruby. Powerful, brooding aromas of ripe cherry, roasted plum, cassis, dark chocolate and anise. Dense and palate-coating, offering strong dark berry and plum liqueur flavors and a touch of smoked meat. Shows serious concentration and extract on the finish, featuring velvety tannins and repeating smokiness. Decidedly masculine Chateauneuf, and not lacking for energy.
