Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape 2021

jammy blackberries and cassis

and a full-bodied

this is a classic RSV

with fine tannins and a subtle thread of acidity going through the core

powerful and firmly muscular large-scaled flavors possess superb mid-palate concentration where the abundant dry extract also buffers the presently unyielding tannic backbone on the massively long finish

with savoriness that’s hard to articulate

sexy and still balanced

with an exceptional nose of crème de cassis

Here the wood and menthol influences are a good deal less subtle and while they don't dominate the even spicier and slightly riper liqueur-like cassis

high-class tobacco

The palate is surprisingly polished

firm and lingering finish
