The 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape les Hesperides is a 50-50 blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre from a parcel of vines in les Bédines, planted in the 1950s. Aged mainly in tank (20% went into demi-muids), it features scents of raspberries, blackberries and plums, plus plenty of dried spices. Full-bodied and creamy-supple on the palate, it turns velvety on the long, intense finish. Nicely done.
