Domaine Barville
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache Blend
A shy fruit nose,, a nod of the high heat.
Two meet, and the dance begins.
One has all the colors, red and black raspberries, pomegranate stem of rose.
The other, dapper with black - anise, mint, earth and stone. A step from one and a step from the other, a flit of the skirt, a tip of the hat, a bow, a kiss, a dip, , a spin, a tango of the fruit and tannins, the herbaceous and acidity. Plucked from the dance floor a touch too early, with many dances left.
Such is the life of wine in my cellar.
Great producer, consistently great wine.

Right out of the bottle, I thought it was very light but enjoyable. Came to life after 2 hours. Solid fruit and structure. Can hold onto this for a few more years easily. Fair amount of heat at 14.5%.
