Dark, intense, roasted dense fruit. Lots of bloodiness, hints of tobacco, dried herbs. Intense and supple on the palate. Serious stuff.

Funky, structured, and interesting with stewed dark fruits, leather, and plummy ripeness.

Some sooty tarry notes. Light to medium bodied - lighter than I expected. After some time in the decanter the wine filled out and put on palate weight giving earthy plummy minerality on the now medium weight palate. Aromas of undergrowth and garrigue. 85% Grenache 9% Syrah 4% Mourvèdre and 2% assorted other varieties. From a cellaring viewpoint rather short term for a big name Chateaneuf du Pape.

Interesting-clearly from a very warm vintage, devoid of structure and fairly boozy
