Auberge Diacre 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape





Auberge Diacre 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape, $16.99-$39.99, 89 points, poured deep purple/reds with a broad meniscus and heavy stained legs.
Aromas were a bit herbaceous nuanced with black fruits and toast.
Full-bodied with good acidity and round lush tannins handled with kid-cloves a teetering complexity of flavors with earthy black fruits and herbaciousness dominating the profile.
Finished long, dry, a bit spicy, and floral with red raspberry and a well-balanced 13.5% alcohol.
