Domaine Grand Veneur Chateauneuf-du-Pape Les Origines 2012

Wine Advocate 93 The 2012 Ch?teauneuf du Pape Les Origines (45% Grenache, 35% Syrah and 20% Mourvedre) is a polished, medium to full-bodied effort that has superb concentration, lots of tannin, and a ripe, textured feel. Showing plenty of black raspberry, toasted spice, creamy licorice and hints of violets, its a classic example of this Cuvee that will benefit from a year or two in the cellar, and have no problem evolving gracefully through 2027.
