Jeb Dunnuck 96+ Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Tradition Vieilles Vignes Secret de Gabriel Red) Aged only in older foudre in comparison and a blend of mostly old vine Grenache (90% Grenache, 5% Mourvedre, and 5% Cinsault), the 2010 Secret de Gabriel is a beauty! Showing thrilling, Grenache dominate aromas of blackberry, licorice, roasted meats, pepper, and hints of leather, this powerful, full-bodied 2010 has a structured, focused feel in the mouth and comes across as very traditional and age-worthy. While beautifully textured, rich, and balanced, it is still tightly wound, with chewy, mouth coating tannin and in need of 3-5 years of bottle age. It will have upwards of two decades or more of total longevity.
