The 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Eternelle is pure Grenache from the sandy-safre soils of La Gardiole, vinified and matured exclusively in stainless steel. As befits an all-Grenache cuvée, it's perfumed and rose-like on the nose, with delicate tea-like notes accenting black cherry fruit. There's lots of spice on the full-bodied palate, a sexy, silky mouthfeel and a long, complex finish that ends with a hint of licorice. I was blown away by all of this estate's 2016s.
