Château de la Gardine Cuvée des Generations Gaston Philippe (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
With a strong, smoke, espresso note to start things off, the fruit is deep, fleshy, round and flashy. The wine is powerful, ripe and sweet, with a lot of flesh and flash.

Château de la Gardine (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
Not much there, there, the little fruit remaining made a valiant effort to find its way though the all the earth, forest and tobacco notes. High in acidity, this is history, but not much in the way of a wine. 1,755 Views Tasted Apr 16, 2016 |
