| Description: | 93 Jd / 92 Wa / 91 Vm / 16 Jr. Moving to the reds and 85% Grenache and the rest Syrah and Mourvèdre, the base 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a beauty and boasts appealing notes of spiced red and black fruits, cedar, and garrigue. Full-bodied, ripe and undeniably sexy, it's going to benefit from a year or three in the cellar and drink nicely for over a decade. - Jeb Dunnuck. The lush, fruit-forward 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape is a good introduction to the domaine's Grenache-dominated style, boasting copious amounts of cherry and apricot fruit. It's full-bodied and velvety in texture, with attractive hints of licorice emerging on the long finish. With its slightly more prominent acidity, it should drink well for longer than the 2015 or 2017 versions. - Joe Czerwinski. Bright ruby-red. Pungent raspberry, cherry and garrigue scents are complemented by smoky mineral and licorice accents. Silky and concentrated, offering juicy red berry, bitter cherry and spicecake flavors and a touch of candied lavender. Shows very good depth, focus and solid thrust on a youthfully tannic finish that features a lingering cracked pepper note. - Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media. Porty nose with raisined fruit and a spirity overtone. Medicinal notes, a bit like iodine. The fruit is dark and deep and baked, with good persistence but more power than elegance. Chewy texture.-Richard Hemming Mw, JancisRobinson |
