The 2010 Domaine Pontifical Châteauneuf-du-Pape has a old world edge, but it's also very ripe and fresh with beautiful blackberries and cherries, as well as wet stone, white pepper, spices, wild herbs and lavender providing nice complexity. This sits on a medium-full body and is supported by fine silky tannins ending in a long chewy finish. (Best 2013-2022) - September, 2012 (JD)
