Tasting like a Napa version of Leoville Las Cases

The Wine Advocate - 6/29/2009 - As one might expect

this is a very powerful wine with incredible length and perfect balance which should live for a very long time

Paul Avril 'Clos des Papes' Chateauneuf du Pape 2010 750mL France "A perfumed nose of wild"A perfumed nose of wild dark berries, leather, cloves, black olives and dried leaves. It's full bodied with polished tannins. It's ample with lovely velvety texture. It's slightly punchy on the mid palate, but remains balanced and focused. Funnelled long finish. Drink or hold."
