Charbonniere, Chateauneuf Du Pape other_regions_australia Tasted from an ex-château bottle

Tasted from an ex-château bottle at BI Wine & Spirits Calon-Segur dinner in London

Residual hints of the malolactic fermentation

There is impressive density of material to the nicely delineated middle weight flavors that offer very good volume on the suave and round finish that exudes a lovely minerality

This way overdelivers for its modest appellation-wide status

The medium-bodied flavors are not quite as dense though they are

Charbonniere, Chateauneuf Du Pape other_regions_australia Tasted from an ex-château bottleBright red. High pitched aromas of red berries, cinnamon and mace, enhanced by a suave floral quality and a hint of orange zest. Distinctly energetic and pure, accented by lively red fruit flavors and strong mineral spine. Refreshingly brisk on the finish, which features tangy red berry and spice notes. This wine shows the best aspects of the vintage. Josh Raynolds
