LA GARDE DU PAPE Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2012

The 2012 La Garde du Pape Châteauneuf-du-Pape is composed from 50% Grenache, 25% Syrah from La Crau and 20% Mourvèdre from Cabrières and Pialon with the remaining 5% Clairette from Les Parran. It is bright and racy with aromas and flavors of raspberry, cherry, licorice white pepper, garrique and wet stones. This boasts a medium body supported by fine, silky tannins that are tightly wound. A well-made Châteauneuf-du-Pape, however will require some bottle age. (Best 2016-2025) - November, 2013 - (JD)
