1994 Chateau Mont-Redon Chateauneuf-du-pape

Bought this wine at the chateau on our honeymoon (2000). Fully mature and drinking well right now. Medium body. This is a very stylish Chateauneuf, less fruit and power, more delicacy. Tasted even better after an hour, but was followed by a steep decline. Still, better than expected of a '94, particularly for a more lightweight Chateaneuf like Mont-Redon.

While I am a fan of Mont-Redon, I have to agree with Parker's assessment that the wines would be much richer if not fined and filtered.

"If the divine creator has taken pains to give us delicious and exquisite things to eat, the least we can do is prepare them well and serve them with ceremony."
