The 2019 'Cuvée du Lion' Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a fantastic showing which opens to profound aromas of dark cherries, raspberry coulis, violets, spices and crushed stones all taking shape in the glass. On the palate this shows remarkable depth and concentration with a gorgeous velvety, plush texture that is laced with wonderful ripe black/red fruits and spices that continue to leave an impression all the way through the finish. While this already shows a ton of early appeal, it will ultimately require at least a few more years of additional bottle age before it hits its stride.
