but had to recognise after one vintage that this was not possible

The Falstaff is a wine of vibrant energy more than anything else

Just a baby but beautiful now

Nothing overdone here

Charbonniere, Chateauneuf Du Pape Vintage:2008 but had to recognise afterBright red. High pitched aromas of red berries, cinnamon and mace, enhanced by a suave floral quality and a hint of orange zest. Distinctly energetic and pure, accented by lively red fruit flavors and strong mineral spine. Refreshingly brisk on the finish, which features tangy red berry and spice notes. This wine shows the best aspects of the vintage. Josh Raynolds
