The 2005 Château La Nerthe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée des Cadettes seduces you with intoxicating aromas from the second the cork is pulled. Offering rich layers of ripe black and blue fruits, cherry cobbler, dense smoke, vanilla, floral, crème brûlée and caribbean rum. Supported by fine polished tannins and gorgeous sleek structure, it also shows excellent depth, concentration and focus. This makes its final statement on the finish where it leaves you with all the delicious flavors lingering on your palate. A truly remarkable Cuvée which is composed of 43% Grenache, 36% Syrah and 21% Mourvèdre. (Best 2012-2030)
