“Glistening ruby. Spice-accented red and blue fruits, garrigue and a hint of smokiness on the perfumed nose. Sappy and focused in the mouth, offering appealingly sweet black raspberry cherry, cherry and floral pastille flavors that slowly deepen with air. Smooth, rounded tannins frame a long, juicy finish that echoes the cherry and herbal notes.”

“Classically proportioned and styled, the 2018 Châteauneuf du Pape features hints of raspberries but more black cherries, layered with hints of garrigue and black olive. Full-bodied and moderately concentrated, with silky tannins and lengthy finish, it’s a solid effort that should drink well for a decade, from a producer that seems to made strides in upping the quality of what’s in the bottle.”
