Blackberry aroma with an air of dates pressed in alongside – this is sweet-noted. It is easy to appreciate, a sleek and stylish start. The palate holds excellent fruit that runs well and has kick. Its tannins move round freely and a minted finale comes forward. Its dark fruit is tasty, darkens on the finish, where tar and char from its oak enter.

Beautiful notes of blackcurrants, scorched earth, graphite, and crushed violets, all flow to a full-bodied, Châteauneuf Du Pape that has a voluptuous, sexy texture, brilliant depth of fruit, fine tannins, and a purity of fruit that's hard to find in this vintage. It's a thrill a minute, and while it's approachable today, it will keep for 15-20 years. 416 cases.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Jeb Dunnuck (August 16th 2019),97+ pts\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"word-wrap: break-word; line-height: 22.86px; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; line-height: 22.86px; padding: 0px !important;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grand Veneur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948997799983,"sku":"F0EE137293RRL","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/gvvv_faad097d-0fa8-44f0-9f3c-c431c0ef8a24.jpg?v=1771487069","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/grand-veneur-chateauneuf-du-pape-vieilles-vignes-2017","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
