Black raspberries, kirsch, cherry and floral notes sing their song. The wine is pure silky decadence. There is tiny bit of new wood that is completely eaten by all the layers of perfectly ripe fruit.

The debut vintage from Bosquet des Papes of La Folie was produced from 80% old vine Grenache and 20% Mourvedre. Explosive aromatics are set off with smoky oak, once past the wood, the wine displays spicy, dark red berries, hints of blue fruit, earth and spice. Full bodied, powerful, long and concentrated, the wine is a bit too present at the moment making this not fun to enjoy young. But there is the structure and a wealth of fruit, along with ample tannins to allow for some real age on this wine. This will be a beauty with a few years of age.

Full blown aromas of kirsch, spice box, jammy black raspberry and garrigue are all over the place. Powerful, concentrated and lush, this stylish Chateauneuf du Pape ends with a long, fresh, pure array of ripe, sweet, spicy cherries. 84% Grenache from 100 year old vines is the key to this wine. The remainder of the blend is 8% Syrah and 8% Mourvedre. This is drinking well now and will only get better.

Fully mature, this is not a wine to age. Peppery black cherries, earth, jam and garrigue create the aromatics. The wine is lush on the palate, but the structure is not there for further development.

Aromas of garriigue, black and red cherries, pepper, black raspberry and earth create the aromatics. On the palate, the elegant wine is still youthful offering fresh, spicy, black and red fruits.

Light in color, light in the red cherry and earthy nose, light in the simple, red berry finish. There is not much going on here. Drink up.
