Another solid effort from this negociant, the 2012 Chateauneuf du Pape La Cour des Papes (60% Grenache and the balance Syrah and Mourvedre) exhibits plenty of ripe black cherry, violets and floral notes to go with a medium-bodied, supple and fruit-forward, delicious style. It’s ideal for drinking over the coming 4-5 years.
