Tasting notes
The 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve (80% Grenache and 10% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre) has more going for it, with lots of currants, cherries, olive and peppery herbs aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, supple, and silky on the palate, with fine tannin, it's a forward, delicious 2015 that I'd happily drink anytime over the coming 7-8 years.

Made from 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre, the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve is sourced from a diversity of soils within La Crau and La Grenade. Aged in foudre and other large oak vats, it's a dark-fruited wine, delivering scents and flavors of cola and ground spices balanced by an herbal component. The tannins are supple, and the flavors intensify on the finish—always a good sign.
Vibrant ruby. Energetic red and dark berry aromas are complemented by suggestions of candied flowers, licorice and incense. Juicy blackberry, boysenberry and floral pastille flavors deepen and spread out steadily as the wine opens up. Concentrated yet lithe, with distinct freshness and smooth tannins providing shape to a long, fragrant finish.
