Pegau, Chateauneuf Du Pape Reservee Vintage:2003 Tasted at the vertical tastingOne 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, it s medium to full bodied, nicely concentrated and has plenty of tannin that comes through on the finish. Similar in style to a lighter weight 2010, drink this beauty anytime over the coming 12 15 years.
