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.
