2019 Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, FRANCE. 750ml
98 points Jeb Dunnuck
Tasted out of bottle, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape is a stunning example of this estate as well as the vintage. Gorgeous kirsch, flowery incense, spice box, and garrigue-like notes define the nose, and it hits the palate with classic Clos des Papes elegance and finesse backed up by a great mid-palate, fabulous concentration, and a monster of a finish. Don’t miss this beauty. (11/2021)
