2009 Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Domaine la Roquète
Fragrant on the nose, with notes of red berries and a touch of spice. The palate is attractive, with hedgerow fruit notes balanced by a pleasing freshening acidity and a hint of Mediterranean herb. Rounded and well balanced , this is a great example of the elegance of Châteauneuf-du-Pape in this vintage.
