DOMAINE SAINT PRÉFERT Châteauneuf-du-Pape 'Réserve Auguste Favier' 2012

The 2012 'Réserve Auguste Favier’ is a bit more expressive than the classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape bottling from Saint Préfert. This offers intense aromas of freshly crushed blackberries and ripe plums followed by fresh minerals, floral, lavender and rosemary notes. On the pallet this offers a rich texture with rich velvety layers all supported by gorgeous round tannins and a wonderful mouth feel. This shows wonderful finesse and remains beautifully balanced all the way through the long lingering finish. A fantastic wine from Isabel Ferrando and although this already showing lovely characteristics, it will prove to be age worthy with a bright future ahead. (2018-2028) - December, 2014 (JD)
