A very enjoyable 21 year old Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Showing black fruits and chocolates, earth, vegetables, graphite, spices, herbs, wood, earth, peppercorn, oak, vanilla and licorice.
Full bodied and bold with firm tannins and long finish. Needs 90 minutes to open up properly and show the big tannins.
Still has many years in it. Very powerful with elegance.
Delicious.
15% alcohol by volume.
