Clos des Papes - 2020 - Châteauneuf-du-Pape Château de Camensac Château Sociando-Mallet's 2011 Haut-Médoc offersRobert Parker's Wine Advocate : Proprietor Paul Vincent Avril expects to bottle 100,000 bottles of something approximating this "final blend," tasted out of foudre. The 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape looked exceptional on this day, offering up scents of framboise and kirsch alongside dried flowers and Asian spices. Full bodied yet weightless, silky and long, this is special stuff, complex and balanced. Blend : 55% Grenache, 35% Mourvdre and 10% Syrah.
