Raymond Usseglio, Chateauneuf Du Pape Imperiale other_regions_australia As is often the caseDark and ripe, with very friendly raspberry ganache, blackberry coulis and melted licorice notes that carry through the broad, fleshy finish. Densely layered and not shy with its fruit driven profile, but there's more than enough graphite edged grip to keep this honest. Should mellow nicely in the cellar. Best from 2014 through 2025. 75 cases imported. JM
