Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Tradition Bosquet des Papes 2012

Domaine Bosquets des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Tradition 2012 is a full-bodied red wine from the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation of the southern Rhône Valley. Established in 1965, Domaine Bosquet des Papes is a leading winery situated within the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation in the southern Rhône. Renowned predominantly for its distinguished range of red and white Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the estate also crafts a limited assortment of Côtes du Rhône AOC. "Vivid ruby-red. Spice-tinged red berry, cherry and lavender scents are complemented by deeper suggestions of candied licoricey. On the palate, taut redcurrant, bitter cherry and floral pastille flavours put on weight and gain sweetness with aeration while maintaining vivacity. The floral quality gains power on the finish, which features supple tannins and a touch of smokiness. Very drinkable now but I`d hold off on uncorking this wine for a couple more years." Vinous, 2015
