Domaine Saint-Préfert Réserve Auguste Favier Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2019

The 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape Reserve Auguste Favier is another blockbuster that offers full-bodied richness, a layered, unctuous and expansive, sexy texture, sweet tannin and killer notes of roasted meats, ground pepper, melted licorice, and assorted red and black fruits. It’s one seamless beauty that will be slightly more approachable in its youth than the Collection Charles Giraud, but still keep for over two decades. (Jeb Dunnuck,robertparker.com,Oct. 28, 2016)
