Chateauneuf du Pape 2015

The flagship wine. the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape. is a blend of 60% Grenache. 20% Mourvèdre. 15% Syrah and 5% other permitted varieties. It features delicate floral scents and ample cherry and licorice aromas. Somehow. it manages to be full-bodied and almost creamy in texture but without much weight. then it ends powerfully. with a flourish of rich Mexican chocolate on the long. silky finish. It should drink well for up to 20 years. (JC. 10/2017)
