Rhone Red Blend from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France

James Suckling – 97 Points

This great Chateauneuf combines the richness of the vintage with remarkable precision and vitality. Stacks of ripe damson plum, licorice and candied orange. Great tannin structure and lots of power on the full-bodied palate, with bitter chocolate and a stony character that builds at the very long, super-focused finish.

Food Pairing

Pairs well with classic meat dishes like veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, and stewed dishes.
