layered and poised

It gives up lots of strawberry

the Fallers managed to convey considerable stylistic clarity and precision to the resultant wines

and I found it extremely good

Eddie Feraud, Chateauneuf Du Pape Vintage:2016 pit fruitsThe 2017 Chteauneuf Du Pape checks in 85% Grenache, 10% Mourvdre, and the balance a mix of varieties, all of which spent 18 months in foudre. Beautiful notes of blackcurrants, blueberries, violets, ground pepper, and sappy garrigue like nuances all emerge from this medium to full bodied effort that has outstanding purity of fruit, polished, ripe tannins, and a great finish. You could do much worse than to have a case of this in the cellar.
