Domaine Raymond Usseglio & Fils La Part des Anges (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
Meaty, earthy, lush, round, full-bodied, spicy and fleshy with a focus on its dark red fruits, pepper, barbecue and espresso notes. The wine is concentrated, full and deep, as well as lusciously textured and tannic. Give it 6-8 years in the cellar and this could be even better. With its blend of 70% Mourvedre, 20% Grenache and 10% Syrah, this should age quite nicely. 2,913 Views Tasted Dec 29, 2020 |
