Domaine de la Solitude Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Barberini 2020 1.5L Muller-Thurgau Leafy hedgerow fruitA very imposing Chateauneuf with enormous depth of Mediterranean herb aromas that makes a bold statement on the expansive palate, but also has wonderful freshness for this density. Underplayed tannic power in spite of the huge scale. Stacks of black berries, sour cherries and orange zest at the very long finish. From organically grown grapes. A cuvee based on grenache, syrah and mourvedre from old vines growing on the the galet cobblestone soils. 95
