The 2012 Chateauneuf du Pape is 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 5% Mourvedre and the rest Cinsault and Counoise, all of which was brought up all in concrete tank. It’s medium to full-bodied, supple, textured and a little bit sexy, with loads of mulled dark fruits, garrigue, pepper and incense aromas and flavors. It’s ready to go and should drink nicely through 2022.
