Deep garnet red colour. This expressive wine opens up to berry fruits underscored by hints of forest undergrowth, spices and balsamic notes. On the palate, it has a nice balance between complexity and roundness. The finish is long with stewed fruity notes.
96 Points - Decanter
Powerfully lifted black pepper, rose petal, red cherry, forest floor, liquorice, baking spice and herbal aromatics. Really complex, but still with some polished, soft fruits and a touch more oak spice on the palate. Finishes lengthily. Well-made and youthful, with time to go. Watch this space.
The 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape from Louis Bernard is a forward, sexy wine that's loaded with notions of black raspberries, melted licorice, earth, and spring flowers. It's ripe, medium to full-bodied, has plenty of fruit, and a good finish. It's just another terrific value from this estate. The blend is 65% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and the rest Mourvèdre, brought up all in concrete tanks.
89 Points - Wine Enthusiast
Hints of chocolate ganache and cinnamon mingle into strawberry preserves on the nose and palate of this voluminous but softly structured blend of 75% Grenache and 25% Syrah. It's fleshy and open knit, with a finish framed by fine, feathery tannins. Best enjoyed now–2024.
