and exuberant

with lovely energy and tension underpinning the fruit

with a mixture of flowers and acid berries hints of oriental spices

lemon zest and a whisper of rosemary oil

black fruits and smoked herbs all emerge from this medium to full-bodied

Barroche, Chateauneuf Du Pape Fiancee other_regions_australia and exuberantHarvest before the rains and hitting a whopping 16. 2% alcohol, the 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Fiancee (an equal split of Grenache and Syrah) certainly has a modern flair, but is nevertheless a smoking effort that's loaded with notions of cassis, blackberry, truffle, olive tapenade and pepper. Big, voluptuous, concentrated and full bodied, it's still young and unevolved, and will have more than two decades of overall longevity.
