Tasting Notes:
Leading off the reds in the retrospective, the 2012 Chateauneuf du Pape shows high alcohol, yet doesn't show a trace of heat in its gorgeous bouquet of kirsch liqueur, blackberries, Asian spice, cured meats and garrigue. This is followed by a thick, concentrated, seamless 2012 that has the vintage's purity and rounded nature, plenty of sweet tannin, and a killer finish.
Pairing:
Lamb, Game, Cured Meat
