Domaine de Cristia 2020 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Classique

"Looking better than it did from tank, Cristina's 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape is ripe and rounded, with ample amounts of black cherries and plums, an exception to the overall red-fruited nature of the vintage. Full-bodied, creamy and lush, with a lingering, silky finish, this 85-15 blend of Grenache and Syrah should drink well for up to a decade." Robert Parker 92 Points

"The base cuvée from this fabulous family estate is the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape, which is based on 85% Grenache and 15% Syrah brought up in a mix of foudre and concrete tank. It's a fleshy, forward, delicious 2020 revealing plenty of spicy red and black fruits, medium to full body, ripe, rounded tannins, and some classic peppery garrigue and leather nuances. Drink it over the coming 8-10 years." Jeb Dunnuck 91 Points
