Clos Des Papes Chateauaneuf Du Pape Rouge 2015

#14 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2017

98 Points Wine Spectator ...This wine offers a drop-dead gorgeous core of cassis and raspberry pâte de fruit flavours that holds center stage but still allows notes of Lapsang souchong tea, anise, incense and shiso leaf to chime in. Very long, with a sublime feel through the mineral-tinged finish. So seductive already, but this will cruise in the cellar. Drink now through 2040.

97 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate ... Bottled in May, the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape is a floral, elegant, unbelievably complex wine. Roses and violets, cherries and stone fruit, cinnamon and allspice and more are carried across the full-bodied yet almost weightless palate, finishing in a swirl of silky tannins and lingering spice. Enjoy over the next two decades.
