The 2012 Châteauneuf Du Pape Chante Le Merle Vieilles Vignes is stunning and is drinking incredibly well today. Coming from a selection of the top plots and older vines of the estate and not destemmed (it's mostly Grenache), it has a classic bouquet of Provençal herbs, ripe red and black fruits, licorice, and toasted spice. With full-bodied richness, a round, layered mouthfeel, and integrated tannins, this gorgeous, old school, utterly classic Chateauneuf du Pape is perfect for drinking any time over the coming decade.
