Charvin, Chateauneuf Du Pape Vintage:2018 The velvety and exceptionally rich

The velvety and exceptionally rich flavors possess a different and more seductive texture than usual if perhaps a bit less minerality

This is a bit finer than usual thanks to the relatively dense but fine-grained tannins though I underscore that finer than usual or not

Outstanding

Tasted at the d’Issan vertical held at the property

The wine is off-the-charts great

Charvin, Chateauneuf Du Pape Vintage:2018 The velvety and exceptionally richVoluptuous textures, sweet, ripe, black raspberries, kirsch, pepper and wet earth scents and a long, tasty, fresh, jammy, red berry and spice filled finish is found in sip after sip of this beauty. Perfect with Coq a Vin on a cold, wintery night. OK, cold for Los Angeles.
