Château Mont-Thabor
Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Rhone
Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault
“The 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape has outstanding richness, a big, sexy bouquet of roasted herbs, tobacco leaf, sweet jammy cherries and raspberries mixed with some truffle, licorice, and earth. An expansive, full-bodied mouthfeel with no hard edges and silky tannins has resulted in a seductive style of wine that is dark ruby/garnet, quite evolved, and best drunk over the next 7-8 years..” R.P.id 7
