Domaine du Vieux Lazaret Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2017

Luscious and buttery wine, ideally matched by a spicy kick.

Rich, full-bodied vintage with a deep, soft colour. The nose is marked by by accents of vanilla, cherry, tobacco, and leather, with a delicate accent of spice. The sensation is well-balanced, with a soft tannin profile and a bracing acidity. The fruit flavours are complex, with a mix of red and dark berries, featuring vanilla, dried cherries, and figs. The ending is long and satisfying, with a soft hint of viola territory.

Well-balanced wine with a rich, fruity flavor profile, featuring layers of sour plum and black currant. The acidity is medium plus, which helps to cut through the richness, and the linger is smooth, with suggestions of leather and oak. at the same time it may not be to my taste, it would pair well with a variety of dishes, markedly those featuring rich, savory flavors.
