At once weighty and energetic in character. Finishes juicy, lively and strikingly long, with repeating spice and floral notes and steadily building tannins.
The 2017 Châteauneuf-du-Pape looks to be a huge success. It's full-bodied, deep, and thrillingly concentrated on the palate but it's upfront and incredibly expressive today
With only about 100 cases produced each year, finding a bottle of the 2015 Cote Rotie la Landonne will prove much harder than drinking it. It's indeed a terrific wine !
Marked by hints of peppery spice, dusty cherries and supple tannins, the 2018 Gigondas is already approachable. It's medium to full-bodied, with a silky feel and decent depth, making for a fine, early-drinking example of the appellation.
