| Fairly deep purple colour. Fairly complex, very slightly earthy, ripe plum nose with some sandalwood notes. Dry, medium bodied, gently juicy, ripe plum-cherry flavours with a spicy, lingering, gently cedary finish. Seems quite forward and ready-to-drink. This blend of 75% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre and 5% Cinsault has 14.5% alcohol and 3 g/L residual sugar. The recommended 2013 (***) with 92-points was released on October 3, 2015 at $58.95. TONY ASPLER / 92-points - Cedary, blackberry and blackcurrant nose; medium to full-bodied,dry, richly extracted flavours of blackberry and black plum; firmly structured with great length. The recommended 2013 (***) with 92-points was released on October 3, 2015 at $58.95. |

| TASTING NOTE: The 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape is a classic blend of 75% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre and 5% Cinsault, mostly from rolled stone terroirs, that was partially destemmed and will see 15 months all in foudre. It boasts a deep ruby/purple color as well as full-bodied richness, sweet tannin and textbook Southern Rhône notes of cured meats, toasted spice, garrigue and ample red and black fruits. It will have two decades or more of prime drinking. Score - 93-95 (Jeb Dunnuck, robertparker.com, Oct. 28, 2016) |
