Famille Brunier Piedlong Chateauneuf Du Pape France, 2019, 750

"This Chateauneuf beautifully marries the delicate floral side of grenache with stunning depth and lovely richness on the mid-palate. Wonderful, velvety finish that goes on and on, making you want more of this great beauty. Drink or hold."

"Bright ruby. Ripe red and blue fruits, potpourri garrigue and baking spices on the expansive nose. Appealingly sweet cherry, boysenberry, black raspberry and floral pastille flavors show a hint of white pepper that adds spicy lift. Well concentrated but comes off lively thanks to a core of juicy acidity. Shows strong floral punch on the long, gently tannic finish, which leaves a hint of cherry cola behind."
