Domaine de Cristia Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Renaissance 2007

A seriously concentrated, full-bodied Châteauneuf-du-Pape that has barely evolved since bottling, Domaine de Cristia Renaissance 2007 (60% Grenache tank-aged and 40% Mourvèdre barrel-aged) is still primary and youthful, with imposing aromas of blackberry liqueur, vanilla, graphite, minerals, roasted meats and subtle hints of garrigue on the nose. A thrilling experience on the palate, with impressive purity, decadent fruit and solid underlying structure Jeb Dunnuck
