Lot #840. Domaine de La Mordorée Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Reine des Bois 2009

Description: Consists of 6 Bottles, 0.75L
Packaging: OWC.
Score: 96 WA.
"A blockbuster-styled effort, the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de La Reine des Bois doesn’t pull any punches and gives up rocking aromas and flavors of black raspberry, cassis, graphite, spice-box, lavender and herbs. Possessing full-bodied richness, sweet tannin and thrilling purity, it can be enjoyed now for its exuberant character, but will also evolve gracefully going forward. As I wrote in the intro for this domaine last year, Domaine de la Mordoree is a reference point estate for Chateauneuf du Pape. Run by the talented brother duo of Fabrice and Christophe Delorme, with Christophe making the wines . . ." Wine Advocate #214, Aug 2014
Provenance: The Sea Cliff Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
