Wine Review: This CDP was one of the top 4 Chateauneuf du Pape's that I covered at this year's Boston Wine Expo. It is opaque and dark ruby colored. It opens with a mild black cherry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, very nicely balanced, and smooth. The flavor profile is a spicy blend of black raspberry and black cherry. The finish is quite dry and its big tannins are moderate and sail on for quite sometime. This is an approachable near term wine and should be consumed with a filet mignon. Enjoy - Ken
