Review: Lastly, and a wine that will be a candidate for perfection in 4-5 years, the 2019 Chteauneuf Du Pape Centenaire reveals a deep rubypurple hue as well as extraordinary notes of black cherries, licorice, iron, nori, and peppery garrigue. As with the base 2019, the estate did an incredible job with the tannins, and this wine is flawlessly balanced, with ultra-fine tannins, no hard edges, and the sheer class to evolve for 25 years. This is a perfect example of power with no sensation of weight or heaviness. The blend in 2019 is 84% Grenache, 10% Mourvdre, and 6% Syrah, and it wasn't destemmed and was brought up mostly in concrete tanks, with just 6% in very old barrels.
