Brooding and darkly appealing on the nose, with notes of bramble fruit and almost-medicinal spice slowly coming through. On the palate this at once rich and fresh, with black cherry and hedgerow fruit characters joined by more subtle nuances of mocha and liquorice. Ripe, yet fine tannins provide a taut framework for this substantial wine and a vein of minerality runs throughout, giving this a sense of drive and direction. Bold, yet restrained, powerful, yet balanced, this is an extraordinary wine from Clos des Papes.
