2004 Domaine Grand Veneur Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Origines is a terrific CdP. Very traditional dark cherry liqueur, dried herbs and black licorice. Feels very fruit forward and loaded with truffle and earth which is a byproduct of the large Mourvedre component. This has massive palate presence and a strong finish and accordingly, needs to be paired with very flavorful foods like grilled lamb or beef. Still could have used several years of aging, but this was my last bottle. Delicious stuff for sure. #wine #winesofinstagram #vin #france #rhone #rhonesud #redwine #vinrouge #chateauneuf #chateauneufdupape #2004 #alainjaume #domainegrandveneur #grandveneur #lesorigines #grenache #syrah #mourvedre
