Lot #407. Chimère Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2010

Description: Consists of 1 Magnum, 1.5L
Packaging: OWC.
Score: 98+ RP.
"Another amazing offering is the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Chimere, a blend of 93% Mourvedre, 5% Grenache and the rest white varietals. Packaged in a distinctive Italian glass bottle, this inky/purple-colored 2010 exhibits notes of blueberries, charcoal, roasted herbs and scorched earth. The complex aromas are followed by a full-bodied, super intense, young, unevolved wine that was bottled April 26, 2012, but still resembles a barrel sample. As the wine sits in the glass, aromas of blueberries, licorice and graphite emerge. While the tannins are sweet, they are abundant. This remarkable effort came from one 300-liter foudre." Wine Advocate #203, Oct 2012
Provenance: The Mode Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
