Chateau de la Gardine Cuvée de Generations Gaston Phillipe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2012, Rhône, France #AgedWineTuesday. Dark ruby in color with a reddish/ brick rim. Pretty nose of red and black fruits with cedar, licorice and chocolate notes. Medium plus in body with medium acidity. Dry on the palate with sweet raspberries, cherries, plums, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, black pepper and tobacco leaf. Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries. This is a delicious 14 year old GSM blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Rich, but not extracted. Elegant with lots of chocolate notes. Well balanced with nice complexity. Impressively fresh and youthful for its age, with good structure and balance. The high alcohol is well integrated by now. I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is very consistent. Drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 7 years. A gorgeous wine to drink by itself or with food. A blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 20% Mourvedre. Grapes from very old vines are aged in new French oak barrels for 14 months. 15% alcohol by volume. 93 points. $100.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity. Showing red cherries, currants, plums, chocolates, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee, peppercorn and licorice. Short finish with grippy tannins and tart cranberries. This is a very young Single Vineyard Mourvedre from Bandol. Rich, complex and powerful. In your face kind of wine, and not very approachable right now, but showing good potential. Needs a long time to open up, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years. Better with food at this point. A blend of 92% Mourvedre and 8% Grenache. Aged in large French oak barrels. 13.5% alcohol by volume. 90 points. $40.

This @Beaucastel 2009 is annoyingly, cloyingly sweet. Blackcurrants, figs, black pepper, anise, full body. Too much alcohol to be in balance with a lack of freshness and acidity. Very California in style. Not sure it will keep. Drink up now. #CNP #Grenache #Syrah #wine #Rhone
