Aug 23rd, 2020First time having an aged chataneuf du pape, different than I expected. Nose of prunes, kind of like an amarone or old Turley zin. In the mouth sweet dark chocolate, maybe like a cherry cordial. Also red meat. Medium body and pale color, which was interesting given how strong the flavor profile. Long finish. Overall a really great wine.
