(from Chassagne fruit)

The palate has a rich entry

Enzo Brezza did a great job with his Bricco Saramassa in 2008

cassis and blackberry fruit

Here there is no reductive funk and in fact the nose is really quite pretty with its airy mix of red and dark pinot fruit that display top notes of spice and herbal tea

Boislauzon, Chateauneuf Du Pape Quet Vintage:2009 (from Chassagne fruit)Based on 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvdre, the 2009 Chteauneuf Du Pape Cuvee Du Quet is showing beautifully, with a powerful, rich, yet seamless style. Ripe black cherries, black licorice, roasted garrigue, meat, tapenade, and Provenal notes all emerge from the glass. It's full bodied, has a deep, layered mid palate, sweet tannins, and a great finish. I'd say it's drinking at point today, yet it has the density, depth, and balance to evolve gracefully
