Tasted as tank sample, although it may be bottled by now, the 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape le Plateau de Mont Redon offers up scents of mocha, smoky cedar and dark berries. A blend of 50% Grenache and 50% Syrah, aged in tank and new barrels, it's full-bodied, rich and velvety, with surprisingly firm tannins for the vintage.
