Tasted out of bottle, the 2013 Chateauneuf du Pape Haut Pierre is the same blend/élevage as the 2014 and gives up lots of Proven?al charm in its roasted herbs, pepper, black cherry and currant-styled fruits. Medium-bodied, nicely concentrated and slightly tight and narrow on the palate, it still has beautiful purity and fine tannin that show on the finish. It will have 10-15 years of overall longevity.
