2013Tardieu-LaurentChateauneufduPape

Sans Other reviews….Slightly closed aromatically, the 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape reluctantly gives up subtle blackberry and black raspberry-styled fruits, dried earth and licorice to go with a medium to full-bodied, ripe and supple feel on the palate. Possessing an uncommon level of richness and texture on the palate for the vintage, it has rock-solid density, superb tannin quality and a great finish. It should shine on release and evolve gracefully for up to a decade.89-92 pointsJeb Dunnuck – eRobertParker.com #215 (Oct 2014)
