Tasted out of bottle, the 2019 Chateauneuf Du Pape is a stunning example of this estate as well as the vintage. Gorgeous kirsch, flowery incense, spice box, and garrigue-like notes define the nose, and it hits the palate with classic Clos des Papes elegance and finesse backed up by a great mid-palate, fabulous concentration, and a monster of a finish. Don't miss this beauty. It can be enjoyed today with incredible pleasure or cellared for two decades.
