Louis Bernard Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2020

70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre. Powerfully lifted black pepper, rose petal, red cherry, forest floor, liquorice, baking spice and herbal aromatics. Really complex, but still with some polished, soft fruits and a touch more oak spice on the palate. Finishes lengthily. Well-made and youthful, with time to go. Watch this space. Score – 96.
