Chateau de Manissy Chateauneuf-Du-Pape 2018

The power and finesse of a truly great wine. A tiger waiting to pounce: gentle and sleek to look at, its power almost palpable, yet walking on paws of velvet.

Then an explosion of black fruit: cassis, blackberries, black cherries and notes of roasting coffee, all fully expressed in a beautifully long finish.
