Tasting Notes

I usually drink the Rhone wine much, but Trevallon 2008 which I took last night(2017/08/24) was excellent. I am so impressed with the quality, nice flower yet very nicely complicated like the best wine in Brdeaux. My first impression is Jesus, is this Lynch Bages 1982 :). I heard to use only 2 grapes does not match the appellation criteria to be "Chateauneuf du Pape", but so what? I love yours. Thank you Durrbach family, you are making really a good wine!!

So attractive and alluring, with masses of redcurrant, raspberry, even strawberry aromas, with darker fruits lurking in the background. But it isn't *just* about the fruit - enticing notes of polished old wood, tobacco, all-spice and garrigue herbs all add up to a very complex wine. On the palate, you get a big hit of beautifully ripe, spicy, herby red/black fruit, with remarkably fine tannins and a backbone of mouth-watering acidity. Remarkably easy to drink now, but will age nicely for another 10 years.

2008 signe un retour vers un millésime de grande finesse, avec des extractions plus douces et une matière raisonnant dans l'équilibre. La gamme aromatique fleure le cacao poudré et la figue noir tandis que la bouche repose sur une chair complète avec des tanins intégrés et une persistance séduisante.

We continued with a 2008. Once again the wine was sublime.
