Ogier Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France 2021 Legras & Haas Stunningly long finish that flashesA pretty concentrated Chateauneuf du Pape for the vintage with notes of cherries, crushed raspberries, dried herbs, stones, flowers and spices. Medium to full bodied with fine, firm tannins. Great layers and structure, with a fine grainy texture all along. Lovely fruit notes come through, too. Harmonious. Flavorful finish with excellent length. 80% grenache, 10% syrah, 5% mourvedre and 5% cinsault. Drink or hold. 94 Pts James Suckling
