2018 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rouge Famille Isabel Ferrando (St. Prefert) Magnum

Full black-fruit aromas and intense licorice character, together with the full body and plenty of powdery tannins make a bold statement. Everything fits together very neatly on the front and mid-palate, but the finish doesn’t have quite the excitement you were led to expect.

With a strong floral, herb, licorice and spice note that accompanies all the sweet cherries and black raspberries, the wine gets off to a good start. On the palate, the wine is fresh, juicy, fruity, soft and refined, with a spicy, herbal end note on top of the kirsch in the finish.

Balanceret, lækker, blød og lækker, saftig, ganske åben og drikkelig. Årgangen er håndteret meget elegant her, masser af sødmefuld frugt i en smukt tilbageholdt, ubesværet stil.
