Domaine Paul Autard, Cuvée « La Côte Ronde » 2020, Châteauneuf du pape

Cherry colour with a hint of garnet. Toasted nose with nuances of fresh cedar, coffee and acacia. The nose is dominated by high quality oak. Good density on the palate, with elegant woody notes. The fruit emerges on the mid-palate. There is fine concentration of fruit, particularly red cherries, blackberries and raspberries. Elegant brioche notes appear on the finish. The wine will evolve very well over the years as the fruit becomes more prominent with aeration. Lovely fruity notes of red cherries, strawberries and raspberries are showing through. Very good potential.
