$33.25The Story
The 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape was scheduled to be bottled the week after this tasting, and itâs the usual blend of 35% Mourvedre, 25% Grenache, and the rest Syrah, Counoise, and other permitted varieties. While the estate compares this to their 2016, it reminds me slightly of their 1990 and has a wonderful perfume of red, blue, and black fruits, as well as sappy garrigue, saddle leather, and ground pepper. Itâs beautifully textured, medium to full-bodied, has a good sense of freshness, and fine tannins, as well as a tight, focused style on the palate that bodes well for longevity. It deserves 7â8 years of bottle age and should be long-lived. (Jeb Dunnuck)" 94-96pts
