The star of the show in 2018 is the 2018 Châteauneuf Du Pape La Combe Des Fous which has an incredible mix of complexity power and elegance that’s something to behold. Sporting a deep purple/plum color as well as a killer bouquet of blackcurrants lavender peppery garrigue graphite and white chocolate it hits the palate with full-bodied richness a seamless multi-dimensional texture incredible tannins and a gorgeous finish. This is as good as 2018 gets and while it’s already impossible to resist it’s going to evolve for 15+ years. (Drink between 2020-2035)

The 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape La Combe des Fous features electric aromas of garrigue exotic stone fruit pomegranate black cherries and perhaps even a touch of rose petals. Full-bodied and rich without being overly weighty or dense plush and velvety on the finish yet vibrant and complex this magnificent effort should drink well for at least a decade. From vines planted in 1905 it's approximately 60% Grenache 20% Syrah 10% Cinsault and 10% Vaccarèse.
