Other vintages
Dark red with a purple body. Aromas of black ripe fruits like morello cherries and raspberries, juniper berries, black pepper and garrigue. After several years ageing, the aromas will be characterised by plums, dried stone fruits, leather, fur and sandalwood. Round, rich and powerful with soft tannins. With time, it will involve into a more complex and spicy wine. This wine should be able to age from 5 to 20 years. Pair with red grilled meat, lamb shoulder with thyme and dishes of tapas and curry.

The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Réservée was hard to read and incredibly reductive, which is a trait I've never seen from this estate. Black fruits, licorice, and roasted garrigue are all present in this medium to full-bodied, structured, tannic, firm wine. It's a head scratcher, but hopefully I'll be able to taste this again next year before it's released. Given the quality of the vintage, it should be better than this showing.
