Clos des Papes
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
A great, giant, dense Cdp, this has loads of basically everything. Stylistically this is a bit too big for me, but it has certainly aged gracefully and doesn't feel like it's anywhere close to fading.

Initially this shows excessive nail polish (volatile acidity), still nice color, but ultimately a drain pour, sad..

Chateauneuf du Pape red 90 predates some of the love the critics have justifiably heaped on Clos des Papes but these wines have been consistently terrific for many vintages including this one. Wish I had more

Ripe redfruits and some mature aromas, similar flavors, a bit of surmaturite from the ripe vintage, round and deep flavored, long finish, ready to drink, solid CdP!!
