Natalie's Score: 94/100

A plush wave of black-cherry syrup and plum compote glides across the palate, woven with toasted-oak spice and a whisper of tobacco leaf. Silky tannins and a fine-grain mineral backbone support a lingering echo of dark-cocoa and clove. Drink now through 2029. Pairs beautifully with duck breast with port-jus reduction or porcini-mushroom risotto finished with shaved Parmesan cheese.

Châteauneuf-du-Pape food pairings: beef stew, barbecued pork chops, lamb chops in red wine sauce.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
