2020 Delas Freres Chateauneuf du Pape Haute Pierre Rhone

(90 Points) A blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah, the 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Haute Pierre matured for two years in a combination of old oak barriques and stainless steel tanks. Refined and expressive, it displays ripe red and black fruits such as forest strawberry, black cherry and black plum, along with licorice nuances. Wrapped in smooth tannins, this 2020 red offers a seamless mouthfeel. A well-integrated and comparatively moderate 14.3% alcohol complements the fresh profile.  June 2023, Nicolas Greinacher Vinous Media
