Attractive dark garnet color with purple hints. A rich and complex nose on black fruits (blackcurrant, cherries and olives) with spicy and floral touches thanks to a large proportion of Syrah. The palate is savory on laurel, licorice with ripe tannins, density on the mid-palate, deep and length on the finish. A splendid wine capable to age for two decades or more !

Close to an even split of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape has a perfumed, beautifully elegant, and medium-bodied style that carries lots of cherry and fresh plum fruits as well as peppery spice and floral notes. The balance is spot on, as is the purity of fruit. Drink it over the coming 15 years or more.
