2011 Chateauneuf du Pape Grenache de Pierre

The 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape les Grenaches de Pierre offers the sexy, forward style of the vintage, yet backs it up with beautiful purity, terrific concentration and ample sweet tannin. Showing plenty of black raspberry, cassis and licorice along with loads of Provencal herbs and flowers, it’s hard to resist now, but will continue to shine through 2026. Aug 2014, www.robertparker.com
