Château de Nalys Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grand Vin 2019 (95+ WA) (95+)

“Hints of vanilla, menthol and cedar gently mark the nose of the 2019 Châteauneuf du Pape Grand Vin, which saw about 20% new oak in its élevage. There’s plenty of raspberry and black cherry to balance out the ledger in this balanced, age-worthy effort. It’s full-bodied and labeled a full 1% higher in alcohol than its Saintes Pierres sibling, with a rich, ripe mouthfeel, ample concentration and a long, velvety finish that adds hints of salted licorice. Tasty stuff.” -J.C. 9/23
