93 / 100"One hundred percent Grenache, vinified and matured only in stainless steel, the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Domaine les Escondudes is concentrated and dark-fruited, with purple raspberries and a hint of floral, tea-like notes on the nose. In the mouth, it's full-bodied, supple, creamy, lush and long. Impressive."
