Beaux Freres, The Beaux Freres Vineyard Pinot Noir other_regions_australia the 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape

the 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes is a blockbuster thats up with the top two to three wines of the vintage

this is to Bin 707 as RWT is to Grange

tannic and likely to require quite a bit of patience

as this tastes much older than its true age

It's a little gruff compared to the sleeker incarnation of today's Le Pavillon but nonetheless is very Hermitage

Beaux Freres, The Beaux Freres Vineyard Pinot Noir other_regions_australia the 2006 Chateauneuf du PapeAttractive spice, rust and stone aromas here with plenty of ripe fruit, too. Medium to full body, firm yet velvety tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Seriously seductive. Gorgeous. Drink or hold.
