Tasted from an ex-château bottle at BI Wine & Spirits Calon-Segur dinner in London

Charbonniere, Chateauneuf Du Pape other_regions_australia Tasted from an ex-château bottleBright red. High pitched aromas of red berries, cinnamon and mace, enhanced by a suave floral quality and a hint of orange zest. Distinctly energetic and pure, accented by lively red fruit flavors and strong mineral spine. Refreshingly brisk on the finish, which features tangy red berry and spice notes. This wine shows the best aspects of the vintage. Josh Raynolds
