plenty of freshness

subtly mineral with a very long

(86-89)/2010+

Silky tannins frame a core of expressive red berries

indeed to the point that it was unpleasant

Boislauzon, Chateauneuf Du Pape Tintot other_regions_australia plenty of freshnessI applaud wineries that try to do things a little differently, and I think Mourvdre has a huge role to play in Chteauneuf du Pape. That said, the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Le Tintot (85% Mourvdre, the rest Grenache) is slightly overripe to my tastes, with dark, dried fruit flavors and alcoholic warmth both in evidence. The tannins are rich and supple, but the spice cake, prune and date flavors lack freshness and length.
