In 2015, the destemmer broke, so the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Centenaire was made using whole clusters. It still offers up hints of those green, herbal, floral notes, but they only add intrigue to the ripe cherry aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, concentrated and silky textured, with tremendous length, this is a knockout, probably close to its peak, although I have hopes that it will age even better than some past vintages.
