Domaine Giraud Les Gallimardes Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2015

Very seductive, with a note of Turkish coffee out front, quickly melding into a delicious mix of black currant, plum and boysenberry pâte de fruit flavors. Lots of black tea, incense and warm fruitcake details swirl throughout, while well-buried minerality keeps the finish lengthy and firmly grounded. This just gets bigger and bigger with aeration. Best from 2020 through 2040. Score - 97. (James Molesworth, winespectator.com, Oct. 31, 2017)
