the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aieul is even riper and more concentrated

The Villero is a balanced and polished Barolo that opens to nicely integrated fruit and spice tones

Chapoutier, Cote Rotie Mordoree other_regions the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape(100% syrah, from vines in the Cote Blonde that are reportedly almost 65 years old), Opaque ruby. An exotically perfumed bouquet presents candied dark berries and cherry cola, with notes of Indian spices, anise and smoked meat building with air. Fleshy but focused on the palate, with intense black and blue fruit flavors and a touch of candied violet. Tangy minerals add lift and cut to a strikingly long, smoky and gently tannic finish.
