The same blend as in the Cuvée Peur Bleue but raised in all new barriques, La Gardine's 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee des Generations Gaston Philippe offers up toasty, cedar aromas layered atop cola and dried spices. It's admirably full-bodied and velvety in texture, but it's also a bit generic because of the heavy oaking, finishing dry and dusty.
