The 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape is predominantly in concrete and foudre. Biodynamically farmed and traditionally made, it reached 15.5% alcohol, which shows a bit in the wine's size and slight warmth. It's full-bodied, rich, and velvety, with bold black cherry fruit, hints of clove and cola and a long, savoury-spicy finish.
