Tasting Note
As I reported last year, the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee da Capo is impressive. While it’s less flamboyantly aromatic than the Cuvée Réservée, it’s more powerful and concentrated. Full-bodied and rich, it’s loaded with potent raspberry fruit and silky tannins and boasts a finish that won’t stop. Hints of roasted meat, lavender and thyme add complexity to the waves of fruit, which wash gently across the palate, exhibiting a lovely soft touch.
