Aromas of smoke, tarmacadam, earth, leather, cassis, red fruit compote, mushrooms, baking spice, bramble and a hint of violets.
On the palate, nicely old-world austere but with a strong presence simultaneously. Smoked meats, red/black fruit jam, black liquorice. A lush, almost silky savoury/salinity finish.
Finely structured and on the savoury/gamey side - this CdP is drinking well now, but will be happy with another 5-10 (or more) years in bottle.
Tasted December 2016.

I like these vintages categorized as being average. The work of the winemaker becomes essential to the success of the wine. Especially when we are dealing with wines of appellations giving, in general, dense, structured wines, with assertive tannins. Here, this Châteauneuf du Pape of the 2012 vintage of Mont Redon, delivers a fine bouquet, with the scents of black fruits against a background of garrigues. And this mouth with supple tannins that give place to a fruity matter, which, faith, exerts a certain charm. I love
