Domaine de La Janasse Cuvée Tradition 2021
Châteauneuf-du-Pape - Aimé Sabon
92/100 Wine Spectator & 92/100 James Suckling
When to drink this wine : Now to 2032.
Tasting notes: "Savoury and ripe, with an open profile marked by sappy red cherry, aniseed and a generous floral perfume. The palate is fleshy and meaty, with crushed iron providing balance, while dried rosemary, charred mesquite and aromatic herbs emerge. There's a lot to like in this seductive red, which drinks very well now (and will age well too). Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault. Drink now through to 2032.
