Chateau La Nerthe Chateauneuf Du Pape Rouge 2019 – 750ML

The nose clearly shows the strengths of the Grenache in this cuve. Warm, ripe fruit that expresses itself mainly in the form of blackberry, sweet cherry, blueberry and beetroot. The fruit always appears round and polished. Never overripe or even cheesy, but very balanced and harmonious. The beetroot contributes plenty of earthy spice. Cocoa butter and mildly roasted coffee beans, along with dark chocolate, provide many sensual feel-good moments. It expresses its Mediterranean side through rosemary, thyme and a little lavender and pine groves. Black olives are also included here. Pickled plums, cinnamon and clove provide variety, along with juniper and pepper. Hibiscus provides it with a generous floral dark note. Finally, a touch of pencil adds a cooling element.
