The 2015 'La Crau de ma Mère' Châteauneuf-du-Pape begins to open with inviting aromatics of cherries and plum fruit woven together with lavendar, garrigue and pepper. On the palate this medium-full red is refined and beautifully textured with a gourgous round, plush mouthfeel. It continues to impress with remarkable focus and balance, as it delivers a mouthful of juicy red fruits leading up to the long, spicy finish. While extreamly appealing in its youth, this will be at is best with some short-term cellaring. (Best 2020-2032) - November, 2017 (JD)
