The 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape (made from the same blend as the 2009) exhibits a dark ruby/purple color as well as deep, dark raspberry fruit intermixed with lavender, incense and camphor notes. Full-bodied, dense, chewy and rich with soft tannins, fresh acids and impressive precision and elegance, it should drink beautifully for 10-15+ years
(70% grenache, with 15% each mourvedre and syrah): Bright ruby. High-pitched aromas of raspberry and fresh rose, with slow-building spiciness. Juicy and focused, offering good depth and focus to its sweet red fruit flavors. Shows very good clarity on the seamless finish, which lingers with strong florality.
