Châteauneuf-du-Pape

The nose is intensely fruity with slightly ripe cherries and black currants. There are also exotic spices such as cardamom, gingerbread and moist forest floor. It is complex and exciting. The palate is quite lean, fruity, spicy, velvety and moderately acidic. The finish is long, fruity and quite acidic. It is nicely balanced and has entered a very good drinking window. Nevertheless, it has a long future. 94 points. It paired well with Galicia Gutrei Roxa D’Ouro. It is an Entrecôte from Grass-fed cows from Galicia that are slaughtered 12 -16 years old. The meat is then dry-matured for 40 days. This meat is exceptionally good!

Give it a few hours of air and the fine structured tanins and strawberry comes out to play with the general fruit forward driven bold yet restrained CDP. Lovely structure and fine fruit. Would be super interesting in 10+years but drinks great already, that said I wouldn't open another bottle before at least 7 years.

The nose is intensely fruity with very ripe and slightly cooked strawberries and cherries. There are also red plums, licorice and moist forest floor. It is complex and exciting. 

The palate is lean, intensely fruity with fresher berries, and with medium acidity. The palate is much fresher than the smell indicates. 

The finish is long and acidic. 91 points. On day 2 it was consistent, or maybe with even fresher taste. It paired well with Secreto in Bellota quality.

Vinrød, transparent  på farge med lys kant. Kakofoni av duft med blå plummer, sjokolade, peppermynte-urt, integrert fat og hint av lakris. Tett og konsentrert men likevel elegant. Medium pluss syre, medium kropp, softe tanniner og lang finish. Litt trekk for høy alkohol på 15%, det varmer godt i brystet. Stor vin dette. Vi hadde den til confit de canard og rotgrønnsaker, ikke dumt.
