Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2010
The 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape flirts with perfection. A classic blend of 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre and the rest Syrah, Vaccarese and Counoise...the wine boasts a dense purple color along with lots of gorgeously pure black raspberry, black currant and kirsch liqueur notes intermixed with notions of spring flowers, tapenade, licorice and spice box. This dense, full-bodied, powerful Chateauneuf is also remarkably fresh and well-delineated...Don't miss it! Robert Parker

Dark and intense. Spice and dark wood, a little raisiny. Dark plum, underbrush, spice, black pepper.

A gorgeous intense nose of plum, kirsch, violets. Quite hot and sweet with real depth of flavor. Quite primary still but opening up

This is rather delicious. Beautiful red fruit in the nose with dark plum and a hint of violet. Very pure and intense on the palate. Kirsch, some herbal notes intense berry fruits and real purity. Silky, and handles the alcohol well. One of the best of their recent vintages

Great CdP! Solid core of fruit with firm tannins. Drank better on day 2. Built for the long haul.

Awesome wine. Great balance, good tannins. Oh and the fruit is awesome after being open for 1.5 hours..

Gave this a 3 hour decant. Showed well. Dark fruit, savory notes. Quite good.

Gave this 2+ hours of decant. With that air, certainly elegant, earthy, and mineral driven. Next to the modern Spanish Grenache, this read much more of place.
