Domaine de Fontavin Cuvée David et Goliat (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
Incense, licorice and jammy berries, full bodied, fresh, and balanced, but perhaps a bit too much oak in this modern adaption of Chateauneuf du Pape which leaves it feeling a little bit dry in the finish. If it comes together with time, it will be a better wine, deserving a higher score. 2,189 Views Tasted May 31, 2013 |
