Château de Nalys Grand Vin Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2020

The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Grand Vin unquestionably brings more richness and power, with rocking black cherry and blackberry fruits as well as ground pepper, licorice, and garrigue-like nuances. Full-bodied and concentrated, with ripe tannins, it’s a quintessential 2020 that can be drunk any time over the coming 15+ years. This cuvée is 65% Grenache, 25% Syrah, and the rest Mourvèdre that was partially destemmed and brought up in a mix of vessels, with 15% being new barrels. Maturity: 2022-2038. Score – 96.
