  A great representation of well-priced Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Nice and juicy with a good finish. Be sure to decant for at least 30 mins before drinking.

  Depp ruby in the glass, notes of development on the nose including earth and forest floor.
  Palate is dry, med+ acidity, med+ velvety tannins, med+ body, high alcohol. Med+ flavor intensity of currant, blackberry, herbaceous, leafy, earthy.
  Outstanding wine to drink now but has potential for further aging.

  Château Maucoil's 2018 Châteauneuf is a deep ruby blend of 60% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre and 10% Cinsault. From a bottle that was uncorked, poured and serially tasted over three hours, it delivers a ripe package of dark bramble fruits, dried fig, Provençal herbs, licorice and black olive tapenade. Medium-bodied, freshly acidic, minimally oaked and with well-integrated alcohol (listed as 14.5%), it wraps its flavors with medium-weight, silky-textured tannins. Solid in the middle and medium-to-long on the finish, this wine has no rough edges and is very easy to drink. Give it an hour or so of aeration if possible. Drink now-2030.

  Olives, thyme, garrigue and spice come along with the with sweet and sour cherries. Medium-bodied with a distinctive olive edge to the fruits on the palate, the wine finishes with a sharp, peppery edge with a tinge of chocolate in the finale.
