Domaine du Pegau, Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee 2012

"Beautiful on the nose, with notions of ground pepper, wild herbs, minerality and smoked plum and dark fruit, it???s medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated and has plenty of tannin that comes through on the finish." - Wine Advocate

"Heady aromas of black and blue fruits, potpourri and Indian spices, with a smoky element emerging with air. Taut and sharply focused on entry, then fleshier and broader in the mid-palate, offering vibrant boysenberry and black raspberry flavors with hints of candied violet, smoked meat and licorice. Finishes spicy and long, with repeating florality and slow-building tannins." - Vinous
