Domaine du Vieux Lazaret Chateauneuf-Du-Pape Cuvee Exceptionelle 2017

94 Points James Suckling A solid, well-built and driven Chateauneuf-du-Pape. It has notes of dark cherries, dried thyme, rosemary, roasted meat and baking spices. It’s full-bodied with plush tannins. Juicy yet intense, with a fleshy development of sweet berries and herbs on the mid-palate. Well driven, with an intense, spicy character in the long, focused finish.

Deep garnet color. Notes of red cherry, plum and blueberry with a hint of violet and dried roses. Long, soft, well-rounded finish. The key words are length and elegance. With age, the color and aromas are changing. Wine is an evolving and living product. If you enjoy old vintages, this wine will be perfect for you.
