Domaine du Grand Tinel Alexis Establet Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2012
$50.25

The 2012 Châteauneuf du Pape Alexis Establet is a knockout effort that has fabulous fruit intensity, medium to full-bodied richness and a sexy, voluptuous style. Coming all from 100+-year-old Grenache vines planted in sand and pebble soils, and aged 12 months in foudre and oak tanks, it gives up notions of black raspberry, mulled blackberries, crushed flowers and herbes de Provence. Already reasonably approachable, enjoy it over the coming decade. Score - 93. (Jeb Dunnuck, erobertparker.com, Oct. 2014)
