Chateau Mont-Redon Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2016

Critic tasting note: (2016 vintage) "Decadent layers of blackberry and mulberry preserves are pierced by smoke and toast in this unctuous, glossy red. It's a warming, piquant sip marked by clove, cardamom and black pepper, but balanced freshly too. Tannins are fine and feathery. Oak tones are a bit flashy in youth but should meld beautifully through 2031. Anna Lee C. Iijima" - 95/100, Wine Enthusiast
