CLOS DES PAPES Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2006

The 2006 Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a fantastic wine, loaded with aromas and flavors of fresh raspberries and plums followed exotic spices, cured meat, licorice, crushed lavender and minerals that weave their way through the wine. This really impresses on the palate, where it caresses with its gorgeous silky texture and wonderful finesse. This is pure, focused and well balanced with underlying acidity that provides a sense of freshness as it heads into the finish. Hour after hour in the decanter this constantly evolved and it should continue to do so for years to come, a fantastic effort from the Avril family. (Best 2014-2026) - May, 2014 (JD)
