Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Joe Czerwinski - 31 Aug 18
The 100% Grenache 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Colombis is sourced from three different lieux-dits, each of which has sandy soils. In addition, the vines are all at least 60 years old. Matured in demi-muids, this beautiful wine features enthralling aromas of crushed stone, rose petals and ripe raspberries. Full-bodied and concentrated, the texture comes across as something weightless yet between silk and velvet, laced with exotic spices and lingering for minutes on the finish. It's another stunning example of Grenache from sand terroirs, and it's actually underpriced relative to its quality. Grab it while you can!

Limpid ruby. Heady, spice-accented aromas of ripe red berries, incense and potpourri are complemented by a smoky mineral element that gains power as the wine opens up. Sweet, palate-staining raspberry liqueur, spicecake and floral pastille flavors reveal hints of cola and white pepper. Conveys a suave blend of richness and energy and finishes with outstanding clarity, harmonious tannins and serious red-fruit-driven persistence. I greatly underestimated this beautiful wine from barrel.

100% Grenache. Cask sample. Purified red fruit on the nose, attractive chewiness and good concentration of flavour giving balance on the palate. Lovely chocolate notes on the finish. Complete, rounded, and not overcooked. (RH)
