Château Mont-Redon Le Plateau de Mont-Redon 2016

Red
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, France
7.8
WineSaint

Dark and weighty on the palate with serious concentration. Blackberry, leather, garrigue and smoky minerals build with authority. Full-bodied with ripe tannins that grip without overwhelming. The alcohol shows slightly on the finish, keeping this from the top tier, but there's undeniable power and pleasure here.

Château Mont-Redon
