Reine des Bois CNDP 2016 MG (1.5 L)

Mordoree Reine des Bois CNDP 2016 MG

Wine Advocate

The 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape La Reine des Bois is a monumental effort. Packed and dense. full-bodied and richly tannic. it's completely absorbed the 30% oak. It's 80% Grenache. older vines from the lieux-dits of La Crau and La Nerthe. Blueberries. licorice and Mexican chocolate are carried on a velvety mouthfeel through an indelibly long finish. It's a tour de force. so young. but so tempting. Tasted three times. with consistent notes. (JC 10/2018)
