2012 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Amiral G

A new cuvee that was introduced in 2010 (which is incredible), the 2012 Chateauneuf du Pape Amiral G is up with the creme of the vintage. Made from 100% Grenache, completely destemmed, and aged 18 months in new demi-muids, it possesses a singular style in its sweet bouquet of black raspberry, strawberry, red licorice, rose petal and garrigue. Full-bodied and voluptuous on the palate, with beautiful concentration, no hard edges and building, finely polished tannin, this awesome Chateauneuf can be consumed anytime over the coming decade or more.
