Pegau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Reservee - 2019 (750ml) yeingst 5 spice-tinged red and blue fruits

spice-tinged red and blue fruits and candied rose pick up cola and mineral nuances with air

and red and black currants

You will still find them to be quite serious but perhaps not quite so formidably young as in the past

Such wonderful opulence and beauty

Pegau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Reservee - 2019 (750ml) yeingst 5 spice-tinged red and blue fruitsThe 2019 Chteauneuf du Pape Cuve Rserve looks set to rival the best examples of this bottling. Made up of approximately 80% Grenache, with 6% Syrah, 4% Mourvdre and smaller amounts of other permitted varieties, it's impressively complex on the nose, with scents of black cherries, blackberries and black olives, plus mysterious wafts of violets and garrigue. Full bodied, rich and concentrated, it finishes long and velvety, a sure fire bet for cellaring.
