Brunel de la Gardine Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2021 - Cuvée des Générations Gaston Philippe
Deep garnet. Complex bouquet of ripe red/black cherries, raspberry, garrigue (herbs de Provence), lavender, spice box, leather, and subtle minerality. Palate is full-bodied yet incredibly refined, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, layers of fruit, spice, and earthy complexity. Great depth and persistence.
Drinkable now with decanting due to its balance, but will blossom significantly with age. Prime 2028-2040+. A wine for special occasions.
