Darker-hued and denser on the palate than the 2018, the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers a rich, velvety mouthful of dark-fruited wine. Plums and black cherries are joined by hints of black olives and asphalt in this full-bodied effort, leading into a long finish that shows a bit of chewiness. It should drink well for up to a decade.
