WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
A classic red Châteauneuf-du-Pape, very fine and elegant. The best vintages will age for 25 years and more.
This has a lovely, perfumy mix of savory, mint, tobacco, blood orange, cherry and bergamot notes all mixed together, carried by silky but ample structure before ending with a long, mineral- and shiso leaf—infused finish. Finely beaded acidity lets everything hang wonderfully. This should expand and cruise in the cellar.
