Natalie's Score: 92/100

Black raspberry and dark spice on the nose and palate of this huge southern French red wine blend from the Rhone Valley. The alcohol is high at 15%, so serve this at a slightly lower temperature than room temperature for a more refreshing, less warm/alcoholic mouth-feel. Pair with a rare steak.

Châteauneuf-Du-Pape food pairings: rib roast, Coq au Vins, slow-braised pork shoulder with garlic and thyme.

Diffonty Cuvée Du Vatican 2015 is a robust Châteauneuf-Du-Pape from the Rhône wine region. Great complexity on this flavoursome, juicy red with red currant, ripe red cherry, raspberry and an interesting array of spices -- anise, savoury and white pepper spice. Drink now and for the next 10 years. - Community Wine Reviews
