DomaineLaBarroche,ChateauneufduPape2018

Bright magenta. Heady, spice-accented boysenberry and cherry aromas are complicated by suave lavender and Asian spice nuances. Seamless, deep and appealingly sweet, offering intense, mineral-laced red and blue fruit liqueur, spicecake and floral pastille flavors underscored by a vein of juicy acidity. Finishes smooth and impressively long, displaying harmonious tannins and persistent florality.
