Boislauzon, Chateauneuf Du Pape Quet Brut Zero Subtle but not invisible wood

Subtle but not invisible wood frames the violet

followed by a full-bodied

which were very down to earth and sensible

moderately austere and wonderfully persistent finale that is quite firmly structured

Boislauzon, Chateauneuf Du Pape Quet Brut Zero Subtle but not invisible woodBased on 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvdre, the 2009 Chteauneuf Du Pape Cuvee Du Quet is showing beautifully, with a powerful, rich, yet seamless style. Ripe black cherries, black licorice, roasted garrigue, meat, tapenade, and Provenal notes all emerge from the glass. It's full bodied, has a deep, layered mid palate, sweet tannins, and a great finish. I'd say it's drinking at point today, yet it has the density, depth, and balance to evolve gracefully
