Average age of vines about 60 y.o. in sandy north-facing soil in north-west of appellation. 85% Grenache, 5% Syrah, 5% Mourvedre and 5% Vaccarese. Vinified 100% whole-bunch, all raised in concrete tanks for 18-21 months, fined, unfiltered.
Offers up a beautifully complex and spicy bouquet of red and black raspberries, smoked meats, stony soil tones, bonfire, pepper and a veritable smorgasbord of spice tones from the combination of garrigue and all those whole clusters. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very suave on the attack, with a great core of fruit, superb soil signature and grip, ripe, well-integrated tannins and a long, complex and perfectly balanced finish. This is a great young bottle of Châteauneuf du Pape! Drink 2030-2075+.
