David Ramey is the kind of Owner & Winemaker that I like

as well as hints of lavender and rosemary flowers

but again the few hours of air really helped this wine blossom and realize more of its potential

Domaine de la Janasse, Chateauneuf du Pape, Chaupin 2014 Barbaresco with fine-grained tannins providing framework93 Vinous Limpid ruby. Intense, highly perfumed blue fruit and floral pastille aromas are complemented by suggestions of allspice and licorice. Silky and focused on the palate, offering concentrated boysenberry and cherry flavors that take a darker turn as the wine opens up. Finishes impressively long, displaying lingering berry and floral nuances, gentle tannins and a touch of smoky minerals. (JR) 04 2016
