Mas de Boislauzon Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2011

One impressive 2011, the 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape (70% Grenache and 30% Mourvedre, aged in a combination of concrete tank, foudre and barrel) is awesomely full-bodied, rich and layered, with meaty notes of roasted herbs, melted licorice, black fruits and spice all showing on the nose. Possessing fantastic mid-palate depth and plenty of fine tannin, it will drink nicely for 10-12 years (which is saying something for a 2011!). Drink now-2023. Score - 93.
