The 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve de Comtesse is a 60-40 blend of Grenache and Syrah, with half of the Syrah aged in new barrels. A significant uptick from this small estate's regular cuvée, it's floral and herbal on the nose, with those grace notes accenting black cherries and blackberries. It's full-bodied, creamy and lush in the mouth, then finishes tannic and long.
