the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aieul is even riper and more concentrated

both of which are impressive

Camille Giroud, Chambertin other_regions the 2015 Chateauneuf du PapeA serious, backward and brooding nose reluctantly gives up hints of very earthy dark pinot fruit nuanced by a distinct animale hint that merges into broad shouldered flavors that offer excellent volume and concentration that finishes with just a hint of dryness and plenty of minerality. The dryness should round out in time as there is no associated sense of astringency. (91 93) 2016+
