A nice, easy, for every day Chateau-Neuf. — 8 years ago
From half bottle. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2021 pours a deep ruby color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of brambles, Bing cherry, garrigue, red and purple flowers, anise, and dry earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. A “straight release” in the game of Pétanque. Drink now through 2036. — 2 months ago

"Odedi"
Light reddish in color with medium intensity.
Fruity nose and medium in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
Showing raspberries, fresh cherries, light tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, earth, and chocolate notes.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Grenache from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Still young, but already easy drinking and very approachable. Rich and powerful, elegant and nicely balanced. Complex and entertaining.
Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.
A nice sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.
100% Grenache grapes from 100 year old vines, were aged for 18 months in French oak barrels and concrete vats. A small production of less than 3,500 bottles.
