The 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve (80% Grenache and 10% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre) has more going for it, with lots of currants, cherries, olive and peppery herbs aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, supple, and silky on the palate, with fine tannin, it's a forward, delicious 2015 that I'd happily drink anytime over the coming 7-8 years.
Made from 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre, the 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape Réserve comes from two terroirs: la Crau and la Grenade. It’s aged 60% in foudre and the rest in larger oak tanks. Elegant, medium to full-bodied, with ripe tannic structure, it has lots of scorched earth, darker berry fruits, smoked herbs and licorice aromas and flavors. It’s not a massive wine, but it shines for its purity and length.
