Alain Jaume & Fils Domaine Grand Veneur Les Origines Chateauneuf -du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2010 (1500ml)
Another blockbuster is the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Origines. A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Mourvedre (45- to-95-year-old vines) aged in small oak, it exhibits an opaque purple color as well as a sweet bouquet of blackberries, espresso roast, ink and graphite. While clearly a modern-styled Chateauneuf du Pape, it retains plenty of the region's typicity and authenticity. It should drink well for 15+ years. Robert Parker

Closed nose. Palette shows fine grained dusty tannins, red fruits and an acidic line keep it fresh and uplifting.

Dark brooding fruit. Roasted almonds on the back end. Tannins are present. Needs about an hour of decant time

Very intense kirsch, glace cherry, a plummy undertow, a little bit of thyme and a lovely rounded and polished mouthfeel. Very good
