The 2016 Château Fargueirol Châteauneuf-du-Pape is composed of primaraly Grenache along with Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault sourced from soils constiing of galets roulés. It opens to inviting aromas of dark plums and raspberries are underlined by spices, dark chocolate, wild herbs and florals all taking shape. On the palate this possesses a gorgeous soft, plush texture, with remarkably concentrated layers of ripe dark fruit and spices which build up to the long, velvety finish. This is already drinking beautifully in its youth and should also go on to age nicely with some additional time in bottle.
