Janasse, Chateauneuf Du Pape Brut Zero Minty and overtly citrus-suffused aromas

Minty and overtly citrus-suffused aromas include whiffs of petrol

the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 149 slips gracefully out of the glass with notions of wild blueberries

plenty of red berry fruit

This is a lighter wine for the appellation but there is plenty of character and it’s focused like a laser

Janasse, Chateauneuf Du Pape Brut Zero Minty and overtly citrus-suffused aromasVivid ruby. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe, smoke accented red and dark berries, exotic spices and lavender, and a subtle mineral nuance adds vivacity. Sappy, sweet and lively on the palate, offering juicy raspberry and floral pastille flavors that are joined by hints of licorice and bitter cola on the back half. Smooth and seamless in texture, showing very good finishing clarity, rounded tannins and strong, floral driven persistence. Josh
