The 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape begins with inviting aromas of raspberries, wild berries, florals, wild herbs and spices with slight hints of roasted coffee and iron all taking shape in the glass. Elegant and classy, this gorgeous red possesses a medium body with a wonderful velvety mouthfeel and lovely seamless quality. It displays remarkable overall focus and balance with fantastic freshness through the long silky finish. This is already outstanding in its youth and should go on to evolve gracefully over the course of the next decade plus.
