These two new releases from proprietor Roberto Conterno are stellar

with a good lashing of sweet vanillin oak

I would not mark it down as a top tier Petrus

tannic and structured

Pegau, Chateauneuf Du Pape Reservee other_regions While it can be appreciatedOne of my favorite wines, the 2012 Chteauneuf du Pape Cuvee Rserve is a classic. Beautiful on the nose, with notions of ground pepper, wild herbs, minerality and smoked plum and dark fruit, it s medium to full bodied, nicely concentrated and has plenty of tannin that comes through on the finish. Similar in style to a lighter weight 2010, drink this beauty anytime over the coming 12 15 years.
