A massive, brooding red, this shows the burly side of Châteauneuf, with grippy tannins surrounding a well of black fruit and licorice flavors. Packs a pleasing kick of menthol and wet stone accents, which bring freshness through the long, nicely chewy finish. Delivers good energy and focus, with hints of bitter cherry. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Counoise, Muscardin, Vaccarèse and Cinsault. Drink now through 2035. —K.B.
What We Thought: This has a bright black cherry nose and a smooth, full-bodied palate that hides its atypical 15.% abv well. There are gobs of black cherry fruit and notes of baking spice, espresso, and a little dark chocolate with light, supple tannins.
