Tardieu-Laurent, Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Speciale other_regions_australia firm and tension-filled medium weight

firm and tension-filled medium weight flavors possess a lovely texture on the very dry

This is already good and is potentially excellent

An exceptionally fresh and cool nose of red raspberry

Otherwise there much more mineral-driven middle weight flavors that are notably more precise if

white peach and dried apricot-infused aromas

Tardieu-Laurent, Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Speciale other_regions_australia firm and tension-filled medium weight(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
