1979 Pegau Chateauneuf du Pape

From a greatly under-rated vintage, the ’79 Pegau is a mature CNdP which could still NEVER be considered “refined”. So screw “refined” and suck this down. The fruitcake has some dark rum notes, the sweetness is outstanding now that the rasping tannins have receded. Superb juice.
