“Royer's 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape is a beautiful blend of 85% Grenache, with 5% each Cinsault, Mourvèdre and Syrah. Resiny, herbal notes of rosemary and pine join red raspberries and cherries upon the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, creamy and lush. Supple but concentrated, this strong, almost entirely tank-aged effort finishes long, with ample intensity.”
