A very sanguine, attractive and bright Chateauneuf-du-Pape with aromas of sweet cherries, candied oranges, dried herbs and baking spices. It's full-bodied with fine tannins. Lively, with controlled power to the silky texture. Driven and full of verve, with the grenache character leading the pack. Crunchy and succulent with a lively finish. Drink or hold.
