Marcoux, Chateauneuf Du Pape Vv Vintage:2021 The tannins are a bitTasted from magnum at the domaine, the 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes is among the top few wines of this maligned vintage. Despite being one of the most alcoholic years ever recorded at the estate, there's no trace of heat, just a magical mix of ripe cherries and garrigue on the nose, plus a wonderfully supple, silky mouthfeel and a minutes long finish. While I would recommend drinking this wine over the next few years from 750 milliliter
