A bit more concentrated and structured than the regular bottling, the 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee du Baron also includes more dark chocolate notes, along with black cherries, plums and hints of leather and spice. Full-bodied and almost creamy on the palate, with a long, softly dusty finish, this is a ripe, sumptuous wine to enjoy over the next decade.
