balanced and complex finale

An attractively spicy and notably ripe if markedly reserved nose offers up notes of plum

anise and black tea notes that flash throughout

I very much like the way the lacy flavors manage to convey such flavor authority

Cristia, Chateauneuf Du Pape Renaissance other_regions_australia balanced and complex finaleDeeper, inkier and more concentrated than the classic cuvee, the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Renaissance checks in as 60% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre and 10% Syrah, with the Grenache aged in concrete and the Mourvedre and Syrah in demi muids (some new). Offering up notes of graphite, cassis, chocolate, crushed flowers and tobacco, it's a sexy, voluptuous example of this cuvee that has sensational concentration, sweet tannin and a blockbuster finish.
