Complete with a twisted bottle designed to look like it’s been aged—dust and all—this shows all the characteristics one expects from an approachable, juicy, and balanced Grenache-andSyrah-based CNP. The fruit shines through the high acidity, with plum and rhubarb taking the lead on a great mouthfeel. Garrigue notes develop and dry the palate a bit, showing a maturity and joining an accent of white pepper. Expertly crafted from a blend of Grenache and Syrah, the Pere Anselme Chateauneuf-du-Pape La Fiole du Pape 750ml showcases a playful twist on traditional aging techniques. The result is a delightful combination of juicy fruit, vibrant acidity, and balanced tannins. Notes of plum and rhubarb dance on the palate, while hints of garrigue and white pepper add a touch of sophistication. The bottle design is a nod to the wine's maturity, making this a must-try for any wine connoisseur.
