Great nose of crushed flowers, baked figs. Silky and saturating black fruit. Not as spicy as other vintages

Rich, vibrant fruit. The tannins are already rounded for a 2012 vintage. Very nice. Had it in the tasting room in Chateauneuf-du-Pape and again at dinner at Le Prieure in Villaneuve de Avignon. Very happy with the selection and pairing with the dinner.
