Domaine du Banneret Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2019

This wine invites you in with an alluring nose of dried cherry, smoke, and lilac intertwined with hints of clove, molasses, and eucalyptus. The palate showcases tart cherry and vanilla, complemented by a subtle whisper of licorice that adds complexity. A luxurious, silky mouthfeel embraces the senses, as soft tannins provide a harmonious structure. The finish is exceptionally long, revealing layers of tomato leaf, pepper, and lingering cherry, which dance gracefully alongside hints of cedar and leather. The balance is impeccable, leaving a pleasant, earthy impression that lingers well after the last sip. A truly captivating experience.
