2011 Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge, Reserve Celestins, Henri Bonneau (12 x Bottle)
Deep ruby. Potent aromas of cassis, blueberry, fruitcake, violet and smoky minerals. Impressively deep, seamless and broad, offering black and blue fruit flavors accented by espresso, cola, star anise and cracked pepper. For all its power and richness this wild wine comes across as almost feminine, showing impressive lift and focus thanks to bright, juicy acidity. The deep, sappy blackcurrant and blueberry flavors come back strong on the long, spicy finish.

Vinous
Bright ruby-red. Far more expressive than the Marie Beurrier, displaying a wild array of candied red fruits, flowers and Asian spices, along with an intense mineral overtone. Silky, sweet and pure on the palate, offering intense raspberry preserve and spicecake flavors and a jolt of lavender pastille. Closes long and sweet, with building spiciness and smooth, harmonious tannins that sneak up late.
