The 2011 Clos les Roumiguieres Châteauneuf-du-Pape offers lovely aromas of freshly crushed dark plums and bing cherries layered with pepper, licorice, lavender, hints of cocoa and mineral. Beautifully structured and focused, with a gorgeous silky texture that rolls right into the caressing finish. Overall, this is well-made and brings nice complexity, just needs to flesh out a bit.
