A blend of close to 95% Grenache and 5% Mourvedre, Yves’ 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Habemus is a gorgeous, finesse driven effort that offers up seamless notes of black raspberry, licorice, dried spices and underbrush on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, rich and textured, yet also fine and focused, it’s a superb effort in a top vintage. While it can certainly be enjoyed now, it will benefit from another handful of years in the cellar and drink nicely go 10-12 years.
