Grand Veneur, Chateauneuf Du Pape Vintage:2010 I suspect much of that

I suspect much of that has to do with the mid-weight structure of the wine itself

wintery night

intense and well-detailed medium-bodied flavors possess good depth and sneaky length on the moderately rustic finish

harmonious and strikingly persistent finale

Shows impressive delineation and finishes very long and minerally

Grand Veneur, Chateauneuf Du Pape Vintage:2010 I suspect much of thatOpaque ruby. Sexy aromas of blackberry, cherry cola, minerals and incense. Precise and vibrant, with terrific cut to its intense flavors of bitter cherry and dark fruit preserves and licorice. Still youthfully tight and bound up but gains flesh and sweetness with air. Shows very good clarity and energy, finishing smooth, sappy and long. Josh Raynolds
