Domaine de Nalys 2016
Châteauneuf-du-Pape
The nose is fruity, elegant and relatively aromatic. It reveals notes of pear, fresh yellow plum, crunchy vine peach, flint/minerality and slight notes of quince, lime / yuzu zest combined with a subtle hint of vanilla, fresh almond as well as an imperceptible hint of white flowers and zest of mandarin. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, fat, nicely done, juicy, gourmand and offers a nice acid frame, straightness, a fine tension, finesse, dynamism as well as a fine unctuosity. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of green apple / vine peach, fresh Williams pear and yellow plum associated with slight touches of quince/citrus, subtle hints of zest of lime / yuzu as well as discreet touches of almond and wood. Good
length. A beautiful wine!
