Vintage Cellar Review: Intense garnet color. The nose reveals red fruits (raspberry, redcurrants) combined with subtle hints of eucalyptus and bouquet garni. Aromas of very ripe fruit, leather and bouquet garni. The palate is sensual and is distinguished by a good balance of freshness. The aromas of very ripe fruit, leather and bouquet garni indicate full ripeness of the grapes resulting. With its subtle tannins the Mas Neuf Rhone Paradox can be tasted now or could be laid down in the cellar for 2 to 5 years.
My Review: This was a very high tannin wine with a strong aftertaste. There was a definite fullness of the berries that gave you a soft, smooth initial taste.
I did not taste this wine with food.
