Chateau La Nerthe Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge 2018
Product description
92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The concentrated, dark-fruited 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape is an impressive effort. Always lower in Grenache than most of the wines in the appellation, it remains generous and rich, offering up scents of ripe plums and black cherries, mocha and spice, plus hints of vanilla and dried spices. It's medium to full-bodied, dense and powerful, while remaining approachable and supple, with a slightly dusty edge of tannic structure evident on the finish.
91 Points - Jeb Dunnuck The 2018 Châteauneuf du Pape is a Syrah-heavy blend that’s close to equal parts Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre. It reveals the usual semi-opaque ruby color that’s common in the vintage as well as an already complex, Provençal bouquet of black raspberries, garrigue, spice box, and dried flowers. Medium-bodied, with sweet tannins and a charming, elegant style, this beauty is ideal for enjoying over the coming 10-12 years.
