The 2015 Chais du Batard Châteauneuf-du-Pape opens to aromas of raspberries and cherries, laced with spices, juniper and forest floor nuances. The palate is full-bodied and structured around round, velvety tannins which expand beautifully across the palate. The wonderful soft texture is absolutely delightful as it works its way through the wine and leaves a lasting impression of ripe dark fruits and spices. This is already drinking remarkably well and should continue to do so for up to a decade. (Best 2017-2027) - July, 2017 (JD)
