and it finishes very long and nuanced

tangerine oil and a range of saline-infused notes all run through the 2018

and all varieties are co-fermented for this wine

The mouth feel is also noticeably finer with lovely detail and minerality suffusing the medium weight flavors that offer fine persistence on the lacy finale

Tardieu-Laurent, Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Speciale other_regions and it finishes very long(100% grenache from La Crau) Opaque ruby. Highly perfumed bouquet of red and dark berry preserves, flowers, fruit pit and sassafras. Sweet, palate staining black raspberry and mulberry flavors are framed by velvety tannins and become spicier and more energetic on the back end. Big and gripping but surprisingly graceful wine with very good finishing lift and precision. This saw no new oak. Josh Raynolds
