    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    The final blend will be dominated by 75% Grenache and 15%-20% made up of Mourvèdre and Syrah. Brooding wild berry fruits abound here, notes of clove spice red and black cherry, exquisitely fine tannins and a lovely racy red fruit freshness, clearly a dense powerful wines that nonetheless retains hallmark Clos des Papes gloss.

    Critic Reviews

    95/100
    Josh Raynolds,
    Vinous
    Bright ruby. Highly expressive aromas of raspberry, cherry, lavender, smoked meat and minerals. Racy and sharply focused, with juicy red and dark berry flavors, silky texture and a gentle candied floral quality. Impressively pure and balanced, with outstanding finishing clarity and lingering sweetness. Does this ever really finish? By no means a blockbuster, but delivers very serious palate impact.
