Note di degustazione
Deep, brilliant garnet. High-pitched, mineral-accented red berry and garrigue aromas are complemented by a spicy white pepper nuance. Supple and open-knit, offering appealingly sweet raspberry, cherry and lavender pastille flavors that deepen steadily through the midpalate. Shows fine clarity and spicy cut on a long, penetrating finish framed by silky, even tannins.

A blend of several small parcels, this was my first chance to taste the 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Habemus Papam out of bottle. It lives up to the high expectations I had for it out of foudre, combining lively red-berried fruit with silky-textured tannins. Raspberries and garrigue, dried spices and fine leather notes all feature on the nose and linger on the finish, while the palate is medium to full-bodied, yet virtually weightless at the same time.
Glistening magenta. Ripe red berries, candied flowers, licorice and white pepper on the pungent nose; a smoky mineral flourish adds vivacity. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering sweet cherry, raspberry preserve and floral pastille flavors that spread out and deepen on the back half. Closes silky, sweet and impressively long, with slow-building tannins adding shape and subtle grip.
