The refined and delicious flavors are almost delicate though there is good mid-palate density though once again

with Claude Pouizin running the estate through 1996

Raspberries and cherries of incredible purity add hints of chocolate on the long finish but never seem heavy or warm

indeed to the point where they possess a silky mouth feel and culminate in a superbly long and punchy finish that is the epitome of finesse

A sleeper of the vintage

Rotem & Mounir Saouma, Chateauneuf Du Pape Magis Blanc Vintage:2016 The refined and delicious flavorsThis wine is a work in progress but everything suggests that it will be a majestic Magis. At this stage it's a kind of engine of blossom, hurling spring fresh fruit tree petals out in every direction. On the palate it's hyper expressive and articulate; blossomy for now, but with plenty of marrow packing its bones, too. Look out for this exceptionally promising wine in a year or two. Barrel sample.
