Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2016 - Collection Charles Giraud (Old Vines)
Domaine Saint Préfert
Isabel Ferrando
99/100 Parker
Cellaring capacity: 2020 - 2040
By Joe Czerwinski in 2018: "The 2016 Châteauneuf du Pape Collection Charles Giraud is a 60-40 blend of grenache and mourvèdre, fermented with all the stems. There's a hint of cocoa, but raspberries and strawberries are the dominant fruit flavors in this bright, zesty wine. Notes of mint, lavender and tea leaf add complexity. Full-bodied and velvety in texture, it is intensely concentrated and rich, but not too heavy or ripe (it weighs in at 15.5% alcohol), with a lingering, elegant finish. This is a success that should age for two decades or more, and it will be interesting to see how it compares to the perfect 2010 after a few years in bottle."
