2007 Tardieu-Laurent "Vieilles Vignes" Ch̢teauneuf-du-Pape Hard not to drink

Hard not to drink

This is a delicious white Bordeaux

The malo occurred in large French oak casks and the wine was then aged in French oak barriques

The K&L Kalinda wines are consistently among the best values in our store

Much better than the Fleurie I threw away about an hour ago

2007 Tardieu-Laurent "Vieilles Vignes" Ch̢teauneuf-du-Pape Hard not to drinkThis is crammed with a massive core of blueberry compote, braised fig and mulled blackberry and boysenberry fruit flavors, all wound up with graphite tannins and backed by a strong, iron filled spine. This has serious depth and drive, with gorgeous mocha and espresso aromatics flittering throughout. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvdre. Best from 2010 through 2024. (JM)
