A benchmark Southern Rhône red from a warm, generous vintage, built from a traditional blend led by Grenache. Aromas of ripe black cherry, plum and raspberry reflect the vintage's generosity, while the palate is full-bodied and powerful yet well balanced, with polished, well-integrated tannins supporting layers of glossy red fruit, garrigue and peppery spice. A serious, age-worthy Châteauneuf built for the cellar or the table.
