Château Jas de Bressy 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge, $33.99-$41.99, 93 points, poured a deep purple/red with thick stained sheeting on the glass, and a broad clear meniscus.
Aromas of cola, blackberries, chocolate, ripe red raspberry, a lily-floral note, and a bit of the barnyard/shoe polish were complex and pleasant.
A big, delicious, and full-bodied bone-dry red wine with good acidity, extremely fine grainy tannins, and flavors reflective of the aromas.
Finished very long on Sambuca (15% ABV), a gradually fading palate, and a plethora of pepper spices.
Paired perfectly with my spice-rubbed rare rib eye.
