Mont Redon Chateauneuf Du Papes 2018
The Wine
93-95 points Josh Raynolds vinous.com "60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 8% Mourvedre and 2% Cinsault, Counoise, Muscardin and Vaccarese. 100% - stemmed and fermented for 2-3 weeks in stainless steel tank. Matured half in stainless steel tank and half in barriques (50% new) for 12-15 months, before blending and a further 3 months maturation in tank. Limpid ruby-red. Mineral-tinged aromas of raspberry, cherry liqueur, garrigue and exotic spices show excellent clarity and take on a minerally nuance as the wine opens up. At once rich and lively in style, offering penetrating red berry, bitter cherry and spicecake flavors and a touch of candied lavender. Shows superb definition and finishes smooth, spicy and impressively long, leaving behind a bright mineral note."
