Domaine André Mathieu – Marquis Anselme Mathieu Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2020 (750ml)

Description

Dark, brooding, hazy purple core with crimson overtones. Aromas of dark black fruit and dried red fruits including blackberry, wild cherry, and smoked blueberry. This Châteauneuf is brimming with peppery spice, dried violets, fresh resinous and dried herbs, hot crushed stones, and wild game. The palate is expansive and dense with mouth-filling tannins and a core of concentrated fruit to match. These 100-year-old vines seem to be able to squeeze blood from a stone, while giving you plenty to think about on the long, savory finish.
