La Bastide Saint Dominique Chateauneuf-Du-Pape 'Les Hesperides' 2016

Tasting Note

Black red colour with black fruit hints. Thoroughbred and rich nose of black berries, liquorice, dark chocolate and oriental spices. Powerful in the mouth. Sensual tannic structure, dense and velvety. The finale, with very fine oak, still reveals new aromas with smoke and mentholated notes.

2016 is a very good year for CNDP, we are both a big fan of this vintage and we would highly recommend purchasing a few bottles so that you can drink a couple now and store a couple because in 10 years they will be even better!
