Domaine Henri Bonneau Réserve des Célestins 2011

Red
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, France
8.0
WineSaint

A sensual powerhouse with wild cherry, lavender and smoky earth building effortlessly on the palate. Remarkably graceful for such intensity, lifted by piercing acidity that gives the wine almost ethereal finesse. Formidable concentration wraps around firm but ripe tannins. Built for decades of cellaring.
