TASTING
Deep and brilliant, purple-red colour.
An exciting nose with aromas of black fruit(blackcurrant, cherry), spices and vanilla.
This great aromatic complexity is found on the palate: the spices and ripe fruit appear with an elegant woodiness and harmonious tannins.
The finish has good aromatic length and introduces a touch of liquorice and peppers.

A terrific Châteauneuf du Pape with great concentration and finesse.
