Pegau Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee 2003 (1x75cl)

Chateauneuf-du-Pape in the Southern Rhone is Grenache-led, and this one has over twenty years in bottle. Worth saying plainly: bottles this old vary from one to the next depending on how they've been kept, so treat it as a mature wine and not a sure thing.

If that's your kind of drinking, it's a strong choice for a special dinner or a gift to someone who collects older Rhone. Braised beef, lamb or game suit it. Free delivery over HK$800, flat HK$80 under.

Tasting notes

Mature wines vary. Aged Grenache-led Rhone usually moves towards dried fruit, herbs and leather with softer tannin. Stand it upright a day ahead, open gently, and pour off the sediment.
