Domaine Galévan Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2010

Shay A

Another visit to the weekly Wednesday Wine Committee, and a wonderful hosting by Glenn. As always, all wines are tasted blind. 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert. Ripe and a little hot. Picked up the ABV here more than the others. Rich in style with red, blue and black fruits. Little bit of smoked meats and black pepper/peppercorn finish. At this age, it’s more modern in style. Give it time.

Henry Fuseler

Very good. Flavor, feel and finish. 10/17

Daniel Steilen

Can't quite tell if this is going to improve with more time or not.

Neil Cornish

Out of magnum. Smooth and silky. Sweet fruit. Classic expression of CNDP.

Neil Cornish

Not overly complex, but nice fruit and balanced acid and tannin.

David Kline

Lavender, smoke, rice cake, sparkling summer river water, ripe, red plum aromatics. Raspberry, plum, light cedar and cinnamon, dry oregano, sandy soils echoing fine grained tannins. Silky, plum oil seductively lounges on your tongue, undulating through the rich black olive and plum cider finish.

E & K G

Starting to open up. Strong tannins but smooth. Would love to revisit again down the road.
