Skalli Grand Vin - Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Tiare du Pape 2007

Skalli Grand Vin - Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Tiare du Pape 2007

Award: IWC Red Winemaker of the Year 2009
Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the flagship and roots of Skalli Grand Vin du Rhône, established over a century ago in the summer residence of the Popes. A tribute cuvée aged for 12 months in oak barrels and casks, offering delicate aromas of stewed stone fruits, red berries, and cherries. A combination of flavors, with present and well-integrated tannins, gives warmth and persistence to this complex and elegant wine. A great bottle!
