title: Domaine de la Solitude 1998 Red (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
description: This full-flavored blend is 65% Grenache and the balance is mostly Syrah, with a little Mourvèdre. It opens with a rustic nose and full earthy, horsey flavors. There’s a very typical Rhône-ish brambly quality to the dark-berry fruit, and the finish is long and flavorful. Quite approachable right now; it should drink well for the next 4 to 8 years, maybe longer.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
