The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Grenaches De Pierre is a step up and has a wonderfully fresh, pure character as well as full-bodied aromas and flavors of black raspberries, morello cherries, new leather, herbes de Provence, and loamy earth. Pure, perfumed, and already complex, with incredible elegance, it's another gorgeous wine from this estate that can be enjoyed any time over the coming 15 to 20 years.

Glistening ruby. An assertively perfumed bouquet evokes black raspberry, cherry compote, potpourri and exotic spices, and a smoky mineral flourish builds in the glass. Sweet, palate-staining red and dark berry liqueur, lavender and fruitcake flavors show outstanding depth as well as energy thanks to an undercurrent of juicy acidity. Blends power and finesse with a deft hand and finishes extremely long, sappy and pure, with polished tannins emerging slowly.

Densely packed yet silky and refined in feel, giving it an elegant, almost airy sense as the kirsch, cherry puree and damson plum notes sail through, with seamlessly inlaid black licorice, incense and black tea details. Features a nice mineral hint that lingers at the end, adding length and pulling you back for another sip. Best from 2023 through 2036. From France.
