2019 Domaine de Marcoux Chateauneuf-du-Pape [WE95][WS94][V94][JD93][WA93]

Producer: Domaine de Marcoux  Region: Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France  Blend: 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre, 7% Syrah and 3% Cinsault Year: 2019  Wine Enthusiast, 95 Points  "Aromas of violet and fresh raspberry introduce this Grenache-dominant red. Sourced from biodynamically grown grapes cultivated on a cross section of terroir within Chateauneuf-du-Pape, it's ripe but pristine and concentrated, quivering with flavors of rich black-cherry and boysenberry preserves. A whisper of spice and smoke suggests the barest of oak influence. Delicious now. Editors’ Choice"  Wine Spectator, 94 Points  "Rich and ripe but fresh and light on its feet, with a seductive, silky texture to the mix of cherry puree, raspberry reduction and mulled plum flavors. Shows anise, black tea and incense notes that lend a perfumed air all the way through the warm earth-tinged finish. Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cinsault. Best from 2023."  Vinous, 94 Points  "Bright ruby. Vibrant, spice-accented
