Janasse, Chateauneuf Du Pape Vintage:2020 medicinal herb and crushed mineralVivid ruby. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe, smoke accented red and dark berries, exotic spices and lavender, and a subtle mineral nuance adds vivacity.

Smooth and seamless in texture, showing very good finishing clarity, rounded tannins and strong, floral driven persistence. Josh
