Jean Royer Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Tradition 2015 (VM 91-93)

“Deep red. A perfumed bouquet evokes fresh red berries, peppery spices and smoky minerals, plus a hint of lavender that builds in the glass. Vibrant raspberry and floral pastille flavors deepen and expand with air while maintaining vivacity. Silky tannins meld smoothly with the juicy fruit on the long, penetrating, racy finish, which repeats the floral note.” Vinous 91-93 points.
