Tasting notes
Tasted at the property, the 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Val de Dieu delivers a rich, almost dessert-like experience yet remains dry and surprisingly elegant. Notes of toasted coconut, dark chocolate and ripe cherries all appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied and sinfully silky, with a long, mouthwatering finish. Drink it over the next several years.

Saturated ruby. Blackberry compote, licorice and smoky herbs on the deeply scented nose. Chewy black and blue fruit flavors show very good depth and pick up zesty mineral and spice elements with aeration. Closes sweet and very long, with subtle vanilla and anise qualities and smooth, mounting tannins.
Bright purple. Pungent, expressive scents of cherry compote and dark berries, vanilla and incense. Creamy cherry and dark berry flavors are lifted by tangy minerality and pick up a mocha element with air. Shows very good energy on the finish, leaving vanilla and floral pastille notes behind.
