CHATEAU LA NERTHE CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE ROUGE 2016

93 Points - Josh Raynolds - Vinous Media: “(barrel-fermented and aged in new oak barriques) Light bright yellow. Expansive aromas of pear and peach nectar and tangerine, joined in the glass by honey, vanilla and candied ginger nuances. Fleshy and broad on the palate, offering deeply concentrated, oak-spiced pit and orchard fruit flavors and a touch of bitter quinine that adds refreshing bite. Closes smooth and sappy, showing outstanding persistence and a suave floral nuance.”
