The 2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Bernardine delivers wonderful fresh aromas of blackberry, cherry, earthy minerals, dried earth, white pepper, and some dusty leather notes. This shows great finesse with a gorgeous silky mouthfeel. Well-balanced with a seamless transition into the finish as it leaves you with a lasting impression of sheer silk and elegance. Composed of mainly Grenache, with a proportion of Syrah and Mourvedre. The grapes are carefully selected during the harvest to obtain the best bunches of grapes for this wine. You can approach this now or hold it for the next 8-10 years and watch it evolve. (Best 2012-2021) - November, 2012 (JD)
