Note di degustazione
Dark ruby. Sexy, spice-tinged dark berry and floral scents, along with suggestions of mocha, licorice and smoky minerals. Supple and sweet on the palate, offering sappy, deeply concentrated black raspberry and lavender pastille flavors sharpened by juicy acidity. Closes smooth, gently tannic and very long, leaving notes of vanilla and dark berry liqueur behind.

A step up over the classic cuvée, the 2012 Châteauneuf du Pape Boisrenard, which is mostly old-vine Grenache yet incorporates all 13 of the allowed varieties, leans heavily toward the more fresh, focused and elegant end of the spectrum. Giving up notions of spice-box, dried licorice and mulled black berry fruits, it’s an outstanding effort, yet I can’t help but think this cuvée was more impressive in the past when it had more power and richness. Nevertheless, it should drink nicely for 10-12 years.
Bright purple. Sexy, oak-tinged aromas of dark berry preserves, Asian spices and potpourri, with a subtle garrigue nuance in the background. Supple and seamless in texture, offering sweet black raspberry and cherry-cola flavors and a touch of licorice. Zesty acidity adds lift and cut to the clinging, very long finish.
