More masculine and exotic, the 2012 Chateauneuf du Pape Peur Bleue (bottled without sulphur) offers searing pepper, tar, flowers, meat and liquid herb-like aromas and flavors. Raw and unformed, this medium to full-bodied effort has serious fruit, no shortage of tannin and solid freshness and purity. It will need time to come together. Drink 2016-2025.
