Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Grenaches de Pierre 2012
Deliciously mouthfilling, with a wide-ranging core of kirsch, red licorice, blackberry paste, sage, pepper, bay and tobacco notes pumping along authoritatively. Singed juniper and allspice accents add subtle nuance to the lengthy, defined finish. Best from 2015 through 2030.
