Domaine L'Abbé Dîne Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Enjoyed this CDP. It’s oaky, earthy, and funky. Big taste with tannin up front. Silky finish.

The dark, bordering-on-hedonistic, nose features cherry compote, black fig, date, black currant, baking spice, and licorice. It's full bodied with soft, palate-coating tannin and modest, juicy acid. Flavors include blackberry, blueberry, licorice, clove, sage, and pink peppercorn. This is delicious in its relative simplicity in a way that's uniquely Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Drink over the next couple of years.

Fairly deep purple Bright cherry nose and flavors. A bit chunky and rustic, perhaps this will smooth out a bit with time

Dégusté lors des Printemps de Châteauneuf-du-Pape Edition 2023 Nez : intensité aromatique assez bonne.

NR Spicy, lactic, licorice, needs a lot of aire for sure, Big structure and a feel of alcohol, quite structured for a sandy soils wine, seems extracted and destemed ! old school sort of wine, with big bold structure, hard to find pleasure right now, see on Day 2

Cherries with a touch of spice are on the nose and palate of this earthy, medium-bodied, forward, lusciously textured, early drinking charmer. The wine is made from 90% Grenache, 8% Mourvedre and 2% Syrah. Drink from 2023 - 2034
