Lot 479 Details
CLOS DES PAPES CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE 2012

Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Leading off the reds in the retrospective, the 2012 Chateauneuf du Pape hit a whopping 15.7% natural alcohol, yet doesn't show a trace of heat in its gorgeous bouquet of kirsch liqueur, blackberries, Asian spice, cured meats and garrigue. This is followed by a thick, concentrated, seamless 2012 that has the vintage's purity and rounded nature, plenty of sweet tannin, and a killer finish. Already hard to resist, it will cruise for another 15-20 years. September 2015 WA 96

2 bts.    per lot $300 - $500
