Chateauneuf-du-Pape Reine Jeanne 2014

Whiffs of chocolate and smoke introduce this pristine, fruity wine. It’s full bodied and plush, with a silky, undulating mouthfeel, ample raspberry and strawberry flavors and delicate notes of pepper and anise. Ripe, persistent tannins and a hint of charcuterie lend gravitas to the finish.  – A.I.
