citrus blossom and a hint of herbal tea

it would also benefit from additional aging

What can be assessed is that there is good detail

It boasts a really lovely bouquet considering the vintage

Andre Brunel, Chateauneuf du Pape Cailloux Rouge other_regions_australia citrus blossom and a hintThe 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape is a blockbuster. Deep ruby colored and a blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre and the rest other permitted varieties, it offers up a big, sweet bouquet of kirsch, blackberries, ground herbs, pepper and licorice. Full bodied, textured and layered, it has terrific fruit intensity, no hard edges and a great finish. Drink this hedonistic beauty anytime over the coming decade or more.
