Note di degustazione
Saturated ruby. Expansive aromas of dark berries, licorice and candied flowers, with a hint of cracked pepper adding urgency. Supple, broad and a touch warm, offering pliant black and blue fruit flavors and a hint of cola. Finishes sweet and long, with smooth tannins adding shape and gentle grip.

65% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre. Dark crimson. Blackish hue. Very rich and round. Just the right side of soupy. Quite tarry on the end and not the most obviously fruity but with lots of character. Drying finish. (JR)
70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre. 30% aged in barrique, and 70% in concrete. Opulent nose with a Syrah streak. Ripe tannins. Pretty tough on the end. Lots there with a certain gloss of texture. A bit of rusty nails on the end. (JR)
Grand Veneur’s 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape is a fantastic effort in the vintage, which shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that follows this estate, as they rarely miss a beat. Made form 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre that was brought up 60% in barrels and 40% in concrete tank, it has pretty, perfumed raspberry, toasted spice, licorice and sappy underbrush aromatics. This is followed by a medium-bodied Châteauneuf that has impressive ripeness in the vintage, solid mid-palate concentration and excellent length on the finish. It should be approachable on release and have upwards of a decade of longevity.
