Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes 2012/15/16

98pts Vinous: Is this the wine of the vintage? It’s definitely on the (very) short list. Powerful raspberry liqueur, cherry pie, incense, potpourri and spice cake aromas…Sweet and seamless in the mouth, offering deeply concentrated but shockingly lithe raspberry, cherry liqueur, five-spice powder and lavender…Blends richness and delicacy with a deft hand and finishes wonderfully long and precise… – Josh Raynolds (Vinous)
