Chateauneuf du Pape, Domaine Font de Courtedune

Note:

With scents of cherries, tack room and licorice, the nose of the 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape sparks a pleasant flashback to Rhône wines of yore. In the mouth, it`s medium-bodied and silky, a bit less generous than expected, being tight and focused, with a crisp but lingering finish. In the context of the past two vintages, it`s a bit of a letdown, but still very enjoyable, with a decade of more of potential longevity.
