Wine Expert Note:

This Domaine Lafond Châteauneuf-du-Pape Roc Epine is a full-bodied, complex and powerful wine. On the nose, it offers aromas of black cherries, red currants and crushed violets, complemented by subtle notes of spices, leather and tobacco. On the palate, it is intense and layered, with flavors of dark berries, licorice and a hint of graphite. The finish is long and persistent, with a lingering warmth and a touch of pepper.
