Tasted from bottle, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Laurence is heavenly stuff that tastes like the essence of Provence. Sporting a deeper ruby/plum hue as well as incredible notes of red and black fruits, new saddle leather, herbes de Provence, licorice, and God knows what else, these all carry to a full-bodied, powerful, unctuous effort that has tons of richness, sweet tannins, and a great finish. It reminds me of a great vintage from the late Henri Bonneau. It's ready to go today, yet I see no reason it shouldn't evolve gracefully over the coming 15+ years or more.

Dark and brooding, the 2019 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Laurence showcases melted licorice, ripe black fruits and cedar. Herbal and spicy gradations add further layers. Fierce tannins call for at least five more years in bottle. Finishing long and savory, the 2019 is a powerful beast that might put off some of the more traditional-style-seeking Châteauneuf drinkers. Nonetheless, this is a rock-solid Cuvée Laurence with ample substance.
