If this can add even more depth than I am projecting my predicted score will seem to be overly conservative

The tannins are a good deal more sophisticated here and I very much like the overall sense of harmony and refinement

the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aieul is even riper and more concentrated

and in particular the misconception that wines from hot years don’t age

A more restrained, fresher and notably layered nose offers up notes of black cherry, plum and spice that are trimmed in subtle wood treatment. The supple, refined and attractively mineral inflected medium bodied flavors possess fine depth and persistence on the dusty, austere and backward finish that is presently quite compact. This well made effort will definitely need time to unwind.
