Bright, dark ruby in colour with a fine, intense nose, with perfumes of violet, blackcurrants and spicy, herbal notes. On the palate it is concentrated, with a blackcurrant and leather character, well-integrated tannins and a long, spicy finish.
Superb with many red meat dishes.
This Chateauneuf has warm red fruit and damson aromas, with cinnamon, spices and jam but also concentration on the palate; then liquoricey richness and elegance to finish. An excellent vintage the 2007 is drinking very well now but will develop for many years to come.
Pale straw in colour, with greenish lights, the 2006 Condrieu is perfumed and fresh, with notes of violet, peach and apricots. On the palate it is dry and clean, with rich, peachy/apricot fruit characters balanced by a fresh acidity.
Intense, spicy perfumes of ripe fruit, especially blackberries. On the palate it is concentrated, with good structure and tannins well-integrated with the ripe, black cherry and bramble fruit.
