Chambolle-Musigny 1er cru Les Amoureuses, Maison Roche de Bellene 2016
Rich, dark, black cherry and blackberry fruit with plenty of mocha, coffee and chocolate notes, almost liqueur like fruit concentration but with silky elegance as well as power. Fantastic.
CHÂTEAUNEUF DU PAPE Réservé Domaine de la Vieille Julienne 2019
Lastly, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Reserve is another magical wine, and I might have rated this cuvée a perfect score more than any other Southern Rhône. Unquestionably in the same realm as the 2017, 2016, 2010, 2005, 2003, and 2001, it has an incredible, full-bodied, massive style that somehow stays perfectly balanced, with flawless integration of its fruit, tannins, acidity, and alcohol. Lots of red, blue, and black fruits, loamy earth, Asian spice, licorice, and violet nuances emerge from the glass, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, building yet polished tannins, and a great, great finish. It’s a sexier, more opulent wine than the Les Hauts-Lieux release yet has the same perfect tannins that are so rare to find in the vintage. This required at least 4-5 years of bottle age and will drink brilliantly for 20-25+ years.
