Domaine Comte de Lauze Châteauneuf Du Pape Rouge - 2018 (750ml) yeinst3 and fabulous purity as wellClassically proportioned and styled, the 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape features hints of raspberries but more black cherries, layered with hints of garrigue and black olive. Full bodied and moderately concentrated, with silky tannins and a lengthy finish, it's a solid effort that should drink well for a decade, from a producer that seems to have made strides in upping the quality of what's in the bottle.
