Domaine Marcoux Chateauneuf du Pape red 2007

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, this domaine’s 2007s are fantastic! This was the second time I’ve been able to taste side by side, both the Vieilles Vignes and the traditional Cuvee, from both ’07 and ’06, and both times, the ‘07s seem fresher, more vibrant, and with better overall aromatics. In fact, this was the best showing I’ve had for the straight Châteauneuf-du-Pape and it continues to show brilliant aromatics of raspberries, licorice, flowers and spice, full body, sweet, decadent fruit and a super long, silky finish. This is still available at a reasonable price and should continue to drink beautifully over the next 15+ years.
