CDP Reserve Deux Freres 2019

The 2019 Cha¢teauneuf Du Pape Reserve Des 2 Freres is another brilliant wine. Also all Grenache, it has a slightly darker, more dense style that carries killer notes of blackcurrants, chocolate, roasted garrigue, and spring flowers. It's a big, rich Châteauneuf du Pape, yet it never goes over the edge and shows the vintage's pure, elegant, fresher style beautifully. This blockbuster styled barrel sample is going to need 4-5 years of bottle age, and I suspect be in the top handful of wines in the vintage.

Score: 95 - 97
