Domaine du Pegau Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Reservee, Rhone, France 2012 500ml Domaine Eleni et Edouard Vocoret Very Barolo-like in structure

Very Barolo-like in structure

it's already dangerously good or even too good to cause patience

it really coats the entire palate sliding down the sides and leaving a dusty dry feeling

interwoven with an ever-present stony minerality

very tasty

Domaine du Pegau Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Reservee, Rhone, France 2012 500ml Domaine Eleni et Edouard Vocoret Very Barolo-like in structureOne of my favorite wines, the 2012 Chteauneuf du Pape Cuvee Rserve is a classic. Beautiful on the nose, with notions of ground pepper, wild herbs, minerality and smoked plum and dark fruit, its medium to full bodied, nicely concentrated and has plenty of tannin that comes through on the finish. 94 Pts Wine Advocate
