The full-bodied 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape is a blend of 50% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre and 5% each Cinsault and Counoise, aged almost entirely in tank (10% went into foudre). It delivers notes of lightly caramelized cherries and mixed berries and hints of peppery herbs on the nose. It's full-bodied and supple but not that rich or concentrated, with a silky, mocha-tinged finish. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes.
