Domaine Charvin Chateauneuf du Pape 2012

About 90% Grenache then Syrah, Mourvedre and Vaccarese. 50+ year old vines. "Explosive red and dark berry scents are complicated by suggestions of fresh flowers, Asian spices and smoky minerals. Sweet and seamless on the palate, offering intense black raspberry and rose pastille flavors that put on weight with air. Gentle tannins sneak in slowly and fold smoothly into the wine's sweet fruit on the long spicy, floral finish." Josh Raynolds, Vinous, April 2015
