Vieille Julienne, Chateauneuf Du Pape Reserve other_regions I like both the intensity

I like both the intensity and the polished mouthfeel that add appeal of the sappy and built-to-age finish that is hugely long but not really austere

terrific thrust and sneaky rising floral perfume

A 50-50 blend of Merlot and Sangiovese

Vieille Julienne, Chateauneuf Du Pape Reserve other_regions I like both the intensityDeep in color, the nose blasts off with lavender, cherry, spice, pepper and earthy scents. When the wine hits the palate, the wine is deep, rich, concentrated and packed with sweet, silky, black raspberries, cherry and kirsch that remains on your palate and expands in flavor. This bottle was popped and poured. Perhaps, if the wine and I both had more time together, this could hit triple digits. It's truly a stunning example of old vine Grenache.
