Domaine des Sénéchaux 2012

Chateauneuf-du-Pape

(red)

The nose is fruity, fresh, fine, charming and relatively concentrated. It reveals notes of violet plum, cherry and flowers (lilies and violets) associated with discreet notes of racy minerality, liquorice and a fine spicy note. The palate is fruity, harmonious, aerial, racy and offers juiciness, concentration, gourmandise, a fresh frame, a good structure, minerality as well as a beautiful and silky matter. On the palate this wine expresses notes of blackberry jam and fine notes of purple plum, cherry, blueberry, raspberry associated with fine / discreet notes of sweet spices as well as a discreet touch of sweet spice and caramelized hazelnuts. Tannins are fine and supple. Good length and nice gourmande persistence.

Score : 16.5
