Extremely well done for the second wine of Araujo

elegant and admirably pure nose of red and blue pinot fruit trimmed in spice and violets leads to cool and equally pure middle weight flavors that possess a velvety mouth feel before terminating in a precise and persistent finish

Even though this packs good flavor authority it is not especially dense but it’s certainly very pretty

The energetic and well-detailed flavors possess plenty of salinity on the lingering and better-balanced finale

Chateau, Mont-Redon other_regions_australia Extremely well done for theThe inaugural 2016 Chteauneuf du Pape Le Plateau de Mont Redon develops in the glass with intense tobacco, dried red fruits, forest floor and sandalwood. Full bodied, round and expansive, the 2016 concludes with a long and nuanced finish. Were it not for a slight trace of alcohol heat, Id score it even higher.
