Château de Nalys Grand Vins Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2019

The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Grand Vin offers more depth, with a darker core of fruit as well as complex notes of peppery garrigue, loamy earth, and incense. The balance here is spot on, it’s medium to full-bodied, and has great tannins, all making for a brilliant Châteauneuf du Pape with tons to love. It shows the sunny style of the vintage as well but doesn’t lose a beat with regards to elegance and finesse. Give bottles 3-4 years and it should have two decades of overall longevity. Maturity: 2025-2039. Score – 96. (jebdunnuck.com, Dec. 15, 2022)
