The 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape 'Reserve' is absolutely sensational. This blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre bursts opens with alluring aromas of black raspberries, black cherries and dark plums which are woven together with violets, exotic spices, black forrest cake and a savory herb character all taking shape. Medium-full bodied, with a gorgeous rich velvety texture that is beautifully balanced with lovely underlying acidity. It remains focused with excellent poise through the long, juicy finish.
