Specificaties
In de neus een geur van frambozen en zoete kersen, florale tonen (roos) en cacao. In de mond sappig, zwoele materie van verleidelijk frambozenfruit en kersenjam, gecomplementeerd met een milde kruidigheid (tijm). In de mondontwikkeling een vleugje zoethout en cacao-associaties. 2011 Is een ‘medium bodied’ wijn, zwoeler dan menig Châteauneuf en in dit stadium vooral fruit gedomineerd. De tannines zijn markant. Vanaf 2016 te drinken, doch rond 2018 vermoedelijk pas optimaal op dronk. [juni 2015]
John Livingston/drinkrhone.com: “Has a broad, high octane nose with a sweet foundation. Raspberry liqueur aroma at its heart, with thyme, coffee, dust notes. It is sweet, forward, obvious. The palate is more concentrated than many, into a compact ball of red fruit. There is sound depth of tasty tannin on the finish. Sweet, fat wine that will evolve in the good direction. From 2015.” [December 2012]
Jeb Dunnuck/Wine Advocate: “The 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape, which is a rough blend of 75-80% Grenache, 10% Syrah and the balance Mourvedre and Cinsault, displays beautiful kirsch, raspberry, spice and dusty soils aromas (among other things) as well as a medium-bodied, silky, elegant and finesse-driven style on the palate. With good mid-palate depth and fine tannin on the finish, it should have around a decade of longevity. Drink now-2021. ”
The Wine Cellar Inside: “Sweet, ripe, silky red berries linger, until more, spicy, fresh fruits make their way into the long, seductive, fruit filled finish.” (91/100)
