A pretty concentrated Chateauneuf-du-Pape for the vintage with notes of cherries, crushed raspberries, dried herbs, stones, flowers and spices. Medium- to full-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Great layers and structure, with a fine grainy texture all along. Lovely fruit notes come through, too. Harmonious. Flavorful finish with excellent length. 80% grenache, 10% syrah, 5% mourvedre and 5% cinsault. Drink or hold.
