CRITIC REVIEWS
Joe Czerwinski
"Almost entirely Grenache, from parcels planted in 1901 and 1902, the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Imperiale is a stunner. Scents of roses, black tea and raspberries set the scene, while the palate is full-bodied but silky and nearly weightless, delivering an intricate, detailed interplay of red fruit, dried spices and orange zest. Despite what must be 15% alcohol or more, it shows absolutely no sign of heat."

Cask sample. Generic red fruit, high tannic fur on the palate making this rather tough going. Needs more padding and less casing. (RH)
