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

Deceptively medium in body

The palate is much better and more expressive with tangy marmalade and quince notes

Petit Haut Lafitte Vintage:2016 the 2006 Chateauneuf du PapeA hugely enjoyable wine that is intense and concentrated, with chocolate shavings, liquorice and damson, plus a brushed velvet texture. This is a vintage where the Cabernet Sauvignon did exceptionally well (55% with 45% Merlot), and it suits the style of this wine, powerful but finessed, but still no need to wait too long to begin drinking.
