Ogier Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France 2021 Lafite cannonau and garnachaA pretty concentrated Chateauneuf du Pape for the vintage with notes of cherries, crushed raspberries, dried herbs, stones, flowers and spices.

Flavorful finish with excellent length. 80% grenache, 10% syrah, 5% mourvedre and 5% cinsault. Drink or hold. 94 Pts James Suckling
