Grand Veneur, Chateauneuf Du Pape Vintage:2005 age it a few more

age it a few more years for additional nuance

textured red fruit has grace-notes of liquorice and spice

Fermentation and malolactic fermentation take place in steel

Shows youth and prowess in its structure

the 2013 has acquired pretty tropical overtones that add exoticism to the lemon confit and floral notes

Grand Veneur, Chateauneuf Du Pape Vintage:2005 age it a few moreOpaque ruby. Sexy aromas of blackberry, cherry cola, minerals and incense. Precise and vibrant, with terrific cut to its intense flavors of bitter cherry and dark fruit preserves and licorice. Still youthfully tight and bound up but gains flesh and sweetness with air. Shows very good clarity and energy, finishing smooth, sappy and long. Josh Raynolds
