Mourre du Tendre makes very traditional Chateauneufs, and this wine has done very well for itself after 30-odd years in the bottle. The color is still deep and dark with no signs of oxidation. Smells and flavors are also surprisingly youthful; black and red fruits, deep and concentrated. Ripe Grenache berries but not overly sweet. Not a great Chateauneuf du Pape but a very good one that has aged admirably.Sunday, January 26, 2020
Chateau du Mourre du Tendre Chateauneuf du Pape, 1988
