The 2015 Clos de L’Oratoire des Papes opens to vivid aromas cherries and raspberries which are woven together with fresh wild herbs, lavendar and wet stones. Medium bodied and well balanced with a lovely velvety texture that is driven by core of juicy red fruits that lead to a long, spicy finish. While offering some early appeal this will need at least another few years in the cellar before it hit its stride. (Best 2020-2030) - December, 2017 (JD)
