BOSQUET DES PAPES |
| Assessed from a bottle purchased at the LCBO. Bright deep ruby-purple colour. Slightly spicy, attractive, intense, ripe plum-black-cherry puree nose with gently complex,sandalwood- licorice notes. Dry, medium-full to full bodied, harmonious, gently spicy, ripe plum-blackberry-cherry flavours with a lingering, fairly crisp, well integrated, red licorice and sandalwood tinged finish. This tasty blend of 75% Grenache, 11% Syrah, 11% Mourvèdre and 3% Cinsault, Vaccarèse, and Counoise has a very attractive, fairly dense, fruit-driven core with 15% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number L04092019 on the lower part of the glass bottle. |

| TASTING NOTE: The 2017 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Tradition is a top effort for an entry-level wine. Bottled in March, it features peppery notes, dried spices and ripe cherries on the nose. Full-bodied, rich and velvety, it finishes long and intense, adding hints of salted licorice. It should drink well for at least a decade. Drink date: 2020-2030. Score - 92 (Joe Czerwinski, robertparker.com, Aug. 30, 2019) |
