2005 L'Oriflamme Châteauneuf-du-Pape

barclay loftus

I bought this as a total impulse buy at BevMo. They listed the normal price at $28, and the 1/2 off sale got the best of me. My mistake. Lesson learned. Now, it's not that bad… It's fairly fruit-forward and approachable, and there is a bit of a nice finish to it… In fact, when pared with some nice lamb chops it actually worked out fairly well… but for the wine that it is, even $14 is way over-priced. Absolutely nothing to write home about.
