Chateau La Nerthe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2020 barmes-buecher lemon zest and pearThis deep red Chteauneuf du Pape is very aromatic. At the very begining, the nose is very red fruit driven and then, after a couple of minutes, it becomes more spicy (sweet asian spices and pot ourri). The mouth is full of energy, very juicy. Lots of garrigue characters, herbal notes but still very fleshy. The palate is soft and dense bringing an intense sappy finish.
