Domaine Henri Bonneau Réserve des Célestins 2009
Red
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, France

WineSaint
A monumental Châteauneuf with crushing weight and density. Blackberry compote, tar, garrigue and smoked meat build in waves. The structure is formidable. Massive tannins that will need decades to integrate. Pure power wrapped in seductive florals on the endless finish. Drink 2025-2045.
