The 2008 Chateauneuf du Pape (93% Grenache, 4% Mourvedre, 2% Counoise and 2% Syrah, aged in cement tanks) has turned out even better than I predicted last year. One of the few outstanding successes of the vintage, it is a real sleeper, offering a deep plum/ruby color, a plump, dense, richly fruity nose (blackberries, currants and spice), a silky texture, and more concentration than most of its 2008 peers. Enjoy it over the next 5-7 years.
Lustrous cherry red. Rich and svelte too. Good combination of freshness and ripe fruit. Some savour. Very energetic. Good persistence. Drink between 2012-2018
