Domaine de la Solitude Chateauneuf Du Pape Red / 750mL

Very rich and spicy, with impressive concentration and stacks of fine, soft tannins on the full-bodied palate. There's licorice and meaty intensity in the crescendo finish. A cuvee of 60% grenache, 20% syrah, 10% mourvedre and 5% each counoise and cinsault. From biodynamically grown grapes. A small crop due to hail damage in May. Matured mostly in concrete tanks with a small number of oak casks. Drink or hold. 95 Points James Suckling
