2019 Paul Autard, Chateauneuf- du-Pape, Rhône Valley, France

The wine shows a bright ruby color. The nose is delicate, floral, revealing notes of rosehip and fresh rose petals, nuances of ripe red cherries and cooked raspberries, a hint of cloves and cinnamon in the echo. The palate is juicy, round and powerful, offering fresh acidity, elevated alcohol and chalky, slightly drying tannins. The wine reveals notes of cherry compote and confiture, hints of Mediterranean herbs, pungent spices like black pepper and nutmeg, a hint of liquorice and cocoa. A hint of balsamic on a juicy finish. 70% Grenache 20% Syrah 10% Mouvèdre
