A beautifully textured, medium to full-bodied, classic effort from this team, the 2019 Chateauneuf Du Pape boasts a deeper ruby/purple color, traditional notes of ground pepper, Provencal garrigue, smoked meat, and red and black fruits, a terrific mid-palate, ripe, silky tannins, and a great, great finish. This is an outstanding vintage for this cuvee that's going to benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and keep for 20 years or more.
