Notes:
Some houskeeping yielded a few more cases of our best selling Chateauneuf. While it lasts!Wine Advocate #163; February 2006
($50) Laurent Charvin, the young, dedicated proprietor, made an elegant, finesse-styled 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape from a blend of 82% Grenache, 8% Syrah, and the rest equal parts Mourvedre and Vaccarese. Medium to dark ruby with an elegant nose of sweet raspberries, flowers, and cherries, the wine is medium-bodied but has outstanding density, attractive, sweet tannins, and decent acidity in a sensual, seductive style. Drink it over the next 10-14 years. 90-92 Points
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 06
Dark red. Intense, vibrant aromas of dark berries, tangy redcurrant, Asian spices and pungent dried rose and violet. Then round, suave and open-knit on the palate, with flavors of raspberry, kirsch and candied licorice. Youthfully firm and taut on the back, finishing with notes of tarragon, black cardamom and mocha. 91-93 Points
