Review Date: 11/2021The deeper hued 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape La Cuvée Du Papet checks in as a blend of 75% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, and 10% Syrah that saw plenty of stems and aging mostly in foudre, with a small part in demi-muids and barrique. Straight-up sensational notes of blackcurrants, ground pepper, garrigue, leather, and graphite emerge from the glass, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a concentrated, dense, powerful mouthfeel, building tannins, and a brilliant finish. It's built for the long haul, and along with the 2016, it’s one of the finest wines I've tasted from this talented family. Hide bottles for 7-8 years and enjoy over the following 20-25+.

Notes
John Livingstone-Learmonth for Cradle of the Rhône: "very full, handsome red robe; the nose has an oxtail depth, a savoury tone, the fruit lying hidden in its depths, a light note of mulberry for now, with laurel, herbs. The palate serves a rolling charge of content, is plum flavoured with some spirit tones noticeable from its degree, the finish not yet entered into the main frame, kirsch eau de vie there. It’s powerful on the inside rather than being heady, and won’t show openly until around 2029." (10/2021)
