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.
NUITS SAINT GEORGES Vignes Centenaires 1er Cru La Richemone Domaine Christophe Perrot-Minot 2017
The 2017 Nuit-Saint-Georges La Richemone Vieilles Vignes "Cuvée Ultra" has an attractive bouquet of <em>sous-bois</em> and tobacco-infused red berry fruit, very elegant in style and nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a subtle marine influence and a tang of sour cherry and brine toward the persistent finish. Excellent.
