Mollydooker - Shiraz McLaren Vale Carnival of Love 2010 (750ml) Pessac-Léognan Solitude's 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape

Solitude's 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape is wonderfully creamy

these are quibbles in the context of the vintage

elegance and balance - the perfect embodiment of the best qualities of its territory

and silky smooth but still nicely structured with elegant tannin

while toasty oak and a graphite element linger on the aftertaste
