concentrated

strong earth notes and a hint of the vegetal that slide into rich

fresh mushrooms

which hangs on with outstanding tenacity and youthful tannic grip

It is strict but detailed even if not the most complex bouquet you will encounter in this vintage

Roger Sabon, Chateauneuf Du Pape Reserve other_regions_australia concentratedInky ruby. Sexy, high pitched aromas of fresh red berries, potpourri and star anise show a hint of smokiness. Silky and expansive on the palate, offering intense raspberry and bitter cherry flavors and a strong suggestion of candied rose. Supple tannins meld smoothly with the wine's fruit on the incisive finish, which hangs on with very good tenacity and echoing floral character. Josh Raynolds
