Domaine Jean Paul Autard
Paul Autard Cuvée La Côte Ronde Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2012
$63.00
$78.75
A rich, layered style, with velvety raspberry, blackberry and boysenberry confiture flavors that roll over one another, showing hints of warm fruitcake, melted licorice and ganache. The lovely singed juniper hint adds just enough frame to the finish for balance, though this clearly relies on flattering fruit. Best from 2018 through 2025. Score - 93.
