Clos de L'Oratoire des Papes 2019 Chateauneuf-du-Pape 750ml

Glistening ruby-red. Expressive red berry and cherry aromas are complemented by building spice, garrigue and floral notes. Sappy and expansive on the palate, offering juicy raspberry, cherry preserve and spicecake flavors firmed by an undercurrent of juicy acidity. Supple, harmonious tannins shape the persistent finish, which leaves behind lavender pastille and juicy cherry notes.
