Halos de Jupiter Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2022

While they’re not sure if an Adrastée will be produced or not, the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape will be worth your time and money. Black raspberries, darker strawberries, pepper, and loads of floral notes all define the aromatics, and it’s medium-bodied, with a pure, layered, mouth-filling texture, ripe tannins, and a great finish. A blend of 85% Grenache, 10% Syrah, and 5% Mourvèdre that was destemmed and is still resting in used demi-muids, it will have 15 years of overall longevity. Score – 92-94.
