Note di degustazione
Bright ruby-red. Sexy, mineral-tinged raspberry and floral pastille aromas show outstanding clarity and pick up a pungent suggestion of garrigue with air. Spicy, penetrating and energetic on the palate, offering juicy red berry, cherry liqueur and lavender flavors that deepen and spread out on the back half. The mineral and floral notes resonate emphatically on the persistent finish, which is firmed by sneaky, fine-grained tannins.

The 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape les Sables de la Crau is a stunner in the vintage. Ultra-pure, elegant, sweetly fruited and a sexy as they come, it delivers loads of strawberry, rose petal, framboise and spice on the nose. My only complaint is that it’s slightly straightforward, but it delivers more pleasure than most in this vintage and just begs to be drunk! Enjoy this beauty anytime over the coming 7-8 years.
Vivid red. High-pitched raspberry, lavender pastille and Asian spice aromas show very good clarity and energy, with a hint of blood orange emerging slowly. On the palate, intense red fruit and spicecake flavors are complicated by star anise and candied flowers. This extremely suave, precise wine finishes with excellent finishing cut, lift and floral persistence.
