2008 Clos des Papes Ch̢teauneuf-du-Pape

Dusty, dried spice nose with lots of energy. Lovely sweetness and fluidity. Already fun to drink with an edge of animal but no suggestion of brett. Very clean and fruity and sweet. Transparent. Already lovely. And somehow it seems refreshing. . 18/20 points. Drink 2014-2025. (JR)
