Châteauneuf du Pape Immortelle 2009

Deep garnet with a violet rim. Open and generous, bursting with red and black fruit (cherry, blackberry), exotic spice. There are not enough superlatives to describe this wine: Intense, powerful, expressive and complex, with an extremely long and fresh finish. The tannins are pure silk. A master of elegance. Almost perfection…
