2012 Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge, Reserve Celestins, Henri Bonneau (12 x Bottle)
According to Marcel Bonneau on this visit, all of the 2012 wine will be bottled as Reserve des Celestins. Tasted from barrel, the 2012 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve des Celestins flirts with that fine line between deep, chocolaty richness and raisiny over-ripeness. This is full-bodied and powerful but silky at the same time. If it's bottled soon, it should be amazing.

Vinous
Full ruby. Heady black and blue fruit aromas are lifted by smoky mineral and exotic Indian spice nuances. Offers deep, palate-staining blueberry and floral pastille flavors that pick up spiciness and energy with air. Closes smooth and long, with outstanding thrust and velvety tannins.

Vinous
Deep ruby. Highly perfumed aromas of cherry compote, blueberry, anise and smoky herbs, with a suave potpourri flourish adding complexity. Juicy, expansive and concentrated, offering intense, spice-accented black and blue fruit flavors and a touch of floral pastilles. Fine-grained tannins build slowly on the very long, focused finish, which leaves a sexy lavender note behind.
