Charbonniere CDP "Mourre de Pedrix" Rhone, France 2016 750ml
96 pts Jeb Dunnuck & Wine Enthusiast, 94 pts Wine Spectator & James Suckling The 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Mourre des Perdrix was scheduled to be bottled two days after my visit, so the sample was drawn from the final blend. Although I expect it will close down a bit after bottling, it was singing when I tasted it, featuring red raspberries and cherries, floral and spice notes and a plump, velvety texture. Just delicious stuff.-Wine Advocate
