Vaudieu, Chateauneuf Du Pape Val Dieu Brut Zero This is a strong showingInky ruby. Ripe cherry and black raspberry on the highly perfumed nose, with a suave floral element adding complexity. Fleshy and seamless on the palate, offering pliant red and dark berry flavors and hints of vanilla and smoky minerals. Closes smooth, sappy and very long, with excellent clarity and spicy lift. This very well balanced wine possesses the balance to age but also abundant upfront fruit to make it quite appealing now. Josh Raynolds
