Clos de l’Oratoire Chateauneuf du Pape Red Rhone Wine 750 mL

James Suckling 93 points – Very impressive wine with sturdy tannins and plenty of upbeat, dark, punchy fruit on offer. The palate has a very plush, silky edge with ripe, red-plum and blackberry flavors, cast amid assertive, bold but silky tannins. Drink or hold.

Decanter 94 points – A delightful style of modern Chateauneuf-du-Pape, without sacrificing its warmth and power. Lush in the mouth, it has bright, lightly stewed red cherry and plum fruit and a lick of vanilla..June/2018
