2008 Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes - France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape (8/5/2013)
The more I drink 2008s, the more I like them. This showed dark fruits and plenty of extraction for the vintage with some herbal camphor/menthol and a slight hint of tartness. It does not show the alcohol heat some Janasse wines exhibit. I think it is entering an interesting “busy” drinking phase right now and could use some age to allow flavors to meld. That said, the busy taste right now is very intriguing and fun to discuss with the wife. I may backfill some more of these since I only have one remaining.
