The most impressive of the lineup, the tiny production 2012 Chateauneuf du Pape Cadiac (an even split of Grenache and Mourvedre) has rocking aromatics of potpourri, dried flowers, violets and sweet black raspberry and cassis. Medium to full-bodied, rich and nicely textured, with solid concentration and depth, it should benefit from a couple years of bottle age and have 12-15 years or so of total longevity. There’s still some noticeable oak here, yet it has the fruit and richness to handle it. Drink 2016-2027. These solid efforts come from the northern part of the appellation and, aside from their traditionally styled base cuvee (which is very good), show varying degrees of oak and relatively modern characters. The slightly richer and more concentrated 2012s seemed to handle this elevage more successfully than the more up-front 2011s. Nevertheless, these are all solid, well made efforts. In addition to the wines reviewed here, they also produce a 100% Grenache bottling called the Elixir des Papes. Importers: Elite Wine Import Co., Lorton, VA; tel.
