Tasting note

Not yet bottled, the 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape (80% Grenache, 10% Syrah and the rest Mourvedre and other permitted varieties) is a great example of the vintage and has an upfront, perfumed, sexy style. Garrigue, incense, kirsch, lavender and black raspberry qualities flow nicely to a medium to full-bodied, rounded supple Chateauneuf du Pape that will drink nicely on release and evolve relatively quickly. Score - 89-92. (Jeb Dunnuck, robertparker.com, Dec. 29, 2014)
LCBO
Under the garnet colour, the nose is medium and complex. Enjoy this dry, full-bodied and fruity red featuring refreshing acidity. On the palate, it showcases fleshy tannins and a broad mouthfeel that leads into a long finish.
SAQ
Round tannins with powerful complexity. A rich unctuous wine with notes of mature plums, hazelnuts and red fruits.
