2019 Domaine de Marcoux Chateauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes [JD97][WS97][V97][D96]

Producer: Domaine de Marcoux  Region: Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France  Blend: Rhone Red Blend  Year: 2019  Jeb Dunnuck, 97 Points  "Also a true gem of a wine, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Vieilles Vignes includes all three terroirs of Charbonnière, Esqueirons and Galimardes and is all Grenache. It’s a ripe, opulent, incredibly sexy wine that’s just about overflowing with notes of raspberries, blueberries, Provençal herbs, violets, and flowers. It’s a big, exuberant Grenache offering sweet tannins, a broad, mouth-filling texture, no hard edges, and a great finish. Give it a few years and enjoy over the following two decades."  Wine Spectator, 97 Points  "This is marked by a gorgeously pure core of kirsch and raspberry reduction flavors, which are laced with rooibos tea, singed balsam wood, dried anise, garrigue and warm stone notes. Extremely long, with a singular focal point to the finish as everything is pulled together by finely beaded acidity. A terrific wine. Best from 2
