BOSQUET DES PAPES Châteauneuf-du-Pape Chante Le Merle Vieilles Vignes 2015
94 points, $69
Lush and lengthy, with gorgeous raspberry, boysenberry and black cherry pâte de fruit notes streaming through, while light anise, floral and incense accents add lift and range. The silky but persistent structure lets everything hang nicely through the finish, showing a lingering echo of shiso leaf for freshness. Best from 2019 through 2035. 1,200 cases made. —James Molesworth
