Note di degustazione
Bright purple. Aromas and flavors of ripe, oak-spiced black and blue fruits, with a vanilla note gaining power as the wine opens up. Supple and expansive on the palate, showing very good depth and building smokiness. Leaves notes of dark chocolate and vanillin oak behind on the gripping, youthfully tannic finish. I'm hopeful that some bottle age will allow the oak and fruit here to get better acquainted.

Surprisingly, I wasn’t able to taste his traditional Châteauneuf du Pape, but the 2012 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvee des Felix will certainly be outstanding. Still in foudre, it’s a superb effort from this estate with textbook dark fruits, smoke plum, roasted meat and wild herbs to go with a rich, textured and nicely concentrated feel. If you’re looking for classic, old-school styled wines, look no further.
Bright purple. Sexy aromas of blackcurrant, blueberry, musky herbs and dried flowers. Supple, sweet and generous, with good lift and definition to its dark berry, cracked pepper and spice flavors. With aeration, this wine picks up a subtle gaminess along with a hint of candied flowers. Finishes with dusty, building tannins and excellent length.
