Vaudieu, Chateauneuf Du Pape Val Dieu Brut Zero This may well better harmonize

This may well better harmonize but it would be fair to observe that the balance isn’t perfect

the Rabajà simply has it all

This is a strong showing

Note that my rating assumes that the nose cleans up appropriately

Vaudieu, Chateauneuf Du Pape Val Dieu Brut Zero This may well better harmonizeInky 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
