Clos de L'Oratoire des Papes Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge 2021 (750ml/12) 2021

Deep purple hue with blueish tinges. The nose opens up with a combination of black cherry, juniper berry, pepper and sweet spice. After a few swirls in the glass it evolves towards notes of crushed raspberry, cherry, chocolate and subtle notes of dried herbs reminiscent of the scrublands in summer.

In its youth this wine is dominated by notes of red and black fruits intertwined with a touch of licorice and pepper. The tannins are well defined yet velvety smooth and persistent.
