2010 Paul Jaboulet Chateauneuf de Pape ‘Domaine Terre Ferme’, Northern Rhone supple red fruits, with spice, licorice, corrriander and star of anise. There is ample support from the well balanced oak. Velvety rich and thoroughly`drinkable. Will make a great match for middle eastern dishes.
From the biodynamically farmed Domaine de Terre Ferme, the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape exhibits lots of Mediterranean sea breeze/seaweed, kirsch, fig, black currant and cherry notes in its complex, heady, succulent personality.
With good acidity and ripe tannin, this 80% Grenache/20% Mourvedre blend is the finest offering from Domaine de Terre Ferme in over two decades.
It should drink to 2027+.

Inky ruby. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red fruits, anise and garrigue, with slow-building spiciness and a sexy floral nuance. Sappy, tightly focused raspberry and cherry flavors are extremely concentrated and become fleshier and sweeter with air. Displays serious power on the finish, which echoes the cherry note.
