Now with considerable bottle age, the wine has developed beyond its youthful fruit into a more complex and savoury expression, while retaining the generosity and warmth that made the vintage so appealing. Rich, structured and wonderfully aromatic, it is an excellent choice for lovers of mature Châteauneuf-du-Pape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Expressive aromas of ripe blackberry, red plum and raspberry combine with dried herbs, garrigue, leather, liquorice, pepper and earthy spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-bodied and generous, with a silky texture and beautifully integrated tannins.
