Country: France / Vieilles Vignes
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Rhône Valley
Winery: Tardieu-Laurent / Châteauneuf-du-Pape

The only question with this wine is whether it might be too much of a good thing. It’s full bodieed and densely concentrated, with oaky notes of toasted almond and vanilla layered over plummy fruit, finishing warm and lush. Hedonistic to the max. Drink now.
