Even before its release on the market, this Châteauneuf du Pape 2016, which combines Grenache (60%), Syrah (30%) and Mourvèdre (10%), and which had a mixed aging in steel and oak vats of more than one use, it was already showing impressive. The notes of raspberry, rhubarb and strawberry lead us to a powerful, creamy and textured palate, which becomes firm and dry on the finish.
James Suckling: 91
Soft, with abundant notes of red fruits and creamy puff pastry with berry jam, as well as Mediterranean herbs and raspberry liqueur. On the palate it reveals an easy, succulent and intense tannic core, as well as great concentration and length. For immediate consumption or storage.
