Moving to the 2011s, both of which are strong, the 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape Vendange (same blend and elevage as the 2012) offers up a rich, ripe profile with surprising depth and density in the vintage. Black cherry, raspberry, spice-box and garrigue all show here. This medium to full-bodied effort has sweet tannin and a great finish. Enjoy it over the coming 7-8 years. Drink now-2021. -
