Domaine de Marcoux
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend
Nice red and black fruit and licorice on the attack, but a hot mess on the finish. Disjointed and not very pleasant. We had a Beaucastel from the same year open and didn’t even end up drinking any of this

Delicious. My style of Chnf and refreshing in a region where I sense confusion amongst the producers as to style direction.
