Note di degustazione
Saturated, bright-rimmed red. A highly fragrant, complex nose evokes ripe red and dark berries, pungent flowers and exotic spices and a smoky mineral overtone adds vivacious lift. Juicy and concentrated in the mouth, offering alluringly sweet cherry preserve, Chambord, spicecake and floral pastille flavors that show superb detail and back-end thrust. Closes gently chewy, sweet and wonderfully long, with building tannins adding shape and final grip.

Similar in style to the 2016, just slightly more elegant, the 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Arioso is the Chambolle-Musigny of the Rhône Valley with its huge perfume of spring flowers, pepper, exotic fruits, and spice. Possessing remarkable elegance, full body, ultra-fine tannin, and a great, great texture, it's up with the top wines in the vintage and will keep for two decades. Burgundy-based Mounir Saouma continues to make exotic, singular wines from his cellar located north of Orange. The estate likes to include lots of press wine, keep wine on skins for years, and bottle unfined and unfiltered.
Lurid ruby. An explosively perfumed bouquet evokes ripe dark berries, candied lavender, potpourri and Asian spices. Deeply concentrated black raspberry liqueur, star anise, floral pastille and bitter rhubarb flavors stain the palate and turn sweeter with air. Shows outstanding power and energy on the gently tannic finish, which hangs on with superb, floral-dominated tenacity.
