Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
A blend of 75% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah and 5% Cinsault. Medium Ruby with aromas of sweet black fruits and earthy pepper spice. On the palate complex flavors of cherry and blackberry, with notes if oak, leather and forest spice. Full body, well balanced with long finish, perfect now but will last another decade. Outstanding.

Medium-bodied but somehow rich, the 2015 cuvée from Le Vieux Donjon is loaded with sappy red fruit balanced by garrigue, anise, and florals. Easy drinking but not simple, it pleased a wide range of palates at our Christmas dinner. Still seems to have the legs to go a few more years.
