Château Mont Thabor Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2018

Lurid ruby. Expressive, smoke-accented cherry, black raspberry and floral aromas pick up sandalwood and allspice nuances as the wine opens up. Appealingly sweet red and blue fruit, succulent herb and candied lavender flavors show very good depth as well as energy.

Finishes long, spicy and precise, with repeating florality and smooth tannins that add subtle closing grip.
