Tasting Notes and Scores
The 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape La Reine des Bois is a monumental effort. Packed and dense, full-bodied and richly tannic, it's completely absorbed the 30% oak. It's 80% Grenache, older vines from the lieux-dits of La Crau and La Nerthe. Blueberries, licorice and Mexican chocolate are carried on a velvety mouthfeel through an indelibly long finish. It's a tour de force, so young, but so tempting. Tasted three times, with consistent notes.

Smooth, succulent fruit with much more flesh and generosity than their Dame Voyageuse cuvée. Very fine tannic powder on the finish. Savoury liquorice notes to finish. (RH)
