Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend

2013 vintage drink late 2024. Fairly intense, medium tannins, and enough fruit. Lacked a bit of the savory, black olive characteristic that I love so much in CDP, but no real complaints here.

Showing lots of age for a six year old wine, but still has a freshness to it. Very nice, but don’t sit on it.

Lighter in body than expected. Good plum and black pepper notes.

Ripe red berries followed by a big finish with hints of black pepper and black olives. Needs more time in bottle.

Gud. Stuph.

Excellent

But on the lighter side of CdP

Perfect with Wagyu steak and fries at Florio.

A feisty wine which only improves throughout the days after it is corked, as expected with a Chateauneuf-du-Pape. The pencil-like flavour seeps through whilst sweet spices and dark fruits fill the mouth.

I partnered this wine with a variety of meals, but it is said to go wonderfully with poultry and other red meats. The spices and earthy finish also makes this wine a perfect accessory to your Christmas dinner.

Showing elegance, spice and earth from the warm south. Savory and soul warming.
