    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Paul Avril, Châteauneuf du Pape, Clos des Papes, 2004

    The final blend will be dominated by 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, and 10% Syrah. This is both sensual and taut, an acute fresh nervosity bringing life to the rich ripe dark fruit and liquorice characteristics.

    ABV:
    15%
    96/100
    Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous
    Made with the usual blend of 55% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, Cinsaut and other permitted varieties, the 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape checks in at 15.5% alcohol. It bursts with pungent aromas of red cherry, raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, black plum, thyme, black pepper and is distinctively spicy. Full-bodied and expressive, wrapped in an intricate web of velvety tannins and balanced by lively acids, it is a majestic Clos des Papes.
