2015 Chateau de la Gardine Chateauneuf-du-Pape

Vinous Media (VM)

(aged in a combination of concrete vats and wooden barrels) Brilliant ruby. Fragrant, smoke-accented red fruit, licorice and floral scents are given definition and lift by a zesty mineral nuance. Silky and focused on the palate, offering concentrated raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that become firmer and more lively with air. Shows distinctly youthful character and finishes with very good spicy thrust and dusty tannins that come in late.
