Piedlong Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France 2021 Thrace the 2015 Terrasses du LarzacI love the ripe red plum aroma of this generous and polished 2021. Stacks of fine tannins give it a very sensuous texture that makes it difficult to say no. Very long, velvety finish with excellent spicy complexity. From grenache growing on galet cobblestone soil and a small amount of mourvedre grown on sand that are fermented separately. Drink or hold. 94 Pts James Suckling
