Very average dark colour, at the beginning a lot of breth - need some air, some liqorice at the back. tasted pickled fruits - later becoming more round with sweet aftertase. Better on the next day, smoky The palate is strong and full with aromas of black fruits. The finish is long and balanced. This wine will marry your red meat, veal, duck and of course curry.

LA CHASSE DU PAPE 
Appellation Prestige
Variety Red Rhone Blend (Main Garnacha)
Producer (Winery) La Chasse du Pape
Region France Rhône
Sub-Region Southern Rhône
Harvest (Vintage) 2007
On CellarTracker, Red Rhone Blend is the term for a wine consisting of two or more of the traditional 13 Southern Rhone grape varieties. Typically it's the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre or Cinsault grapes, but can also contain the Muscardin, Counoise, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Roussanne, Terret Noir, Picardan or Vaccarese grapes. This one Initial attack of cherries and blueberries continued to evolve through the mid-palate with other dark fruits showing slightly. The tannins balanced this wine well, but unfortunately the silky finish ended abruptly, leaving me wanting a bit more. 90 pts.| Priority : ★★★★
