I applaud wineries that try to do things a little differently, and I think Mourvèdre has a huge role to play in Châteauneuf du Pape. That said, the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Le Tintot (85% Mourvèdre, the rest Grenache) is slightly overripe to my tastes, with dark, dried-fruit flavors and alcoholic warmth both in evidence. The tannins are rich and supple, but the spice cake, prune and date flavors lack freshness and length.
