CHÂTEAU SIXTINE Châteauneuf-du-Pape 'Cuvée du Vatican' 2013

The 2013 Cuvée du Vatican immediately opens with an earthy character followed by notes of blackberry and plum woven together with spices and hint of leather. On the palate this possesses a lovely soft velvety texture while remaining nicely balanced. This picks up momentum on the finish where flavors of dark fruits and spices and chocolate continue to linger. Accessible today but allow it another few years for it to show its best. (Best 2016-2024) - October, 2015 (JD)
