Clos des Brusquieres Chateneauf du Pape 2016

The full-bodied 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape is a blend of 70% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre and 5% other permitted varieties."Ripe & youthfully compact, this features waves of raspberry pate de fruit, plum coulis & cassis flavors rolling through, flecked with mouthwatering anise, apple wood & rooibos tea notes. The long finish shows very finely beaded acidity embedded throughout, letting the fruit unfurl wonderfully. Best from 2020 through 2040." Wine Spectator
