Description

Clos des Papes, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rouge, 2015
Lovely dried herb aroma, like rosemary and black cherry. Leather and blackcurrant and spice on the palate with chalk-dust tannin that is very charming. There might be plenty more aromatic development to come, but the quality of fruit and poise of structure makes this very tempting to drink now. Long, leathery persistence. (RH) Richard Hemming MW (October 2018) JancisRobinson.com

Purchased en primeur through The Wine Society.

Duty Status: Duty paid

Wine colour: Red
Wine type: Still
Country / Region: France, Rhone
