CLOS DE L'ORATOIRE DES PAPES Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2012

The 2012 Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a a absolutely stunning effort showing from Ogier. This age worthy wine delivers aromas of fresh cranberries and raspberries followed by smoke, forrest floor, licorice, cured meat and spring florals, which leap from the glass. The medium-full body is supported by finely polished tannins and demonstrates remarkable balance with a lovely layer of underlying acidity. It remains well structured and focused all the way through the caressing finish. This is already showing well, however there is also a bright future. (Best 2015-2028) - October, 2014 (JD)
