2016 Chateau Fortia Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Baron Spanish nearly massive entry on the"Similarly colored to the traditional cuve, the 2016 Chteauneuf du Pape Cuve du Baron has rocking aromas and flavors of garrigue, kirsch liqueur, dried flowers, and spice. Deep, medium to full bodied, elegant and weightless on the palate, it's the finest example of this cuve since the 2003. The blend is 55% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and 15% Mourvdre. Despite the high Syrah component, it just screams Grenache." 94 100 Jeb Dunnuck
