Domaine du Pegau Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Laurence, Rhone, France 2019 Majolini the refinement lasts a totalVery muscular, meaty and gamey, with wonderful spicy complexity on the full bodied and highly structured palate. This has terrific concentration and compact fine tannins at its core. Enormously dense at the monumental finish. Not easy to find the right words for all this. The blend is identical to this producers Cuvee Reservee, but is matured much longer in cask and was bottled in February 2024. Drink or hold. 98 Pts James Suckling
