  Critic tasting note: "It is the sublime sense of symmetry and richness on the palate, along with the sensuous texture that hit all the right notes. There is a gorgeous purity to the sweet kirsch, length, and silky tannins that make this vintage stand out. This wine should age and evolve for 2-3 decades with ease. The yields were only 22 hectoliters per hectare. The wine is a blend of 45% Grenache, 40% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah, and the remaining 5% consists of various, allowable grape varieties. The grapes are as always 100% destemmed. Drink from 2025 - 2040." - 98/100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

Excellent

2019 Vintage Saved: 12-Oct-2021

Fabulous, the best Clos des Papes ever made, better than the great 2007, 2016, 17 and 18. And better than Rayas and Beaucastel "Hommage à J. Perrin" for 2019. It will be a legend!
