youthfully austere and balanced finish

with notes of toasted sesame seeds even if the wine only spent 10 months in wood

It has all the components and the balance with them to develop nicely in bottle

This is Beurer’s red blend

Well formed and delicate on the palate

Domaine du Pegau Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Reservee, Rhone, France 2012 500ml Cueva youthfully austere and balanced finishOne of my favorite wines, the 2012 Chteauneuf du Pape Cuvee Rserve is a classic. Beautiful on the nose, with notions of ground pepper, wild herbs, minerality and smoked plum and dark fruit, its medium to full bodied, nicely concentrated and has plenty of tannin that comes through on the finish. 94 Pts Wine Advocate
