2019 Domaine de Cristia Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes (Was $89.99)

"A strapping young wine, brimming with dark plum paste and boysenberry compote flavors that are carried by racy licorice snap and fruitcake notes. The lively back end shows a hint of bramble and a touch of tar, giving this energy and power as it courses through the finish. Best from 2023 through 2038. 300 cases made, 50 cases imported." - James Molesworth Review Date: February 2022
