This wine boasts an inky/purple color in addition to a gorgeous perfume of crushed rocks, jammy black fruits, charcoal, graphite, and blackberry. The palate holds excellent fruit character and has a great kick. The tannins are round and the finish is long with mint and dark fruit notes. It is all very much together and harmonious, and has great aging potential. An outstanding Chateauneuf du Pape expressing the quintessence of its terroir.
Pairs well with venison, duck, braised lamb or strong cheese.
