    Domaine l'Abbé Dîne 2017 Red (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)

    Gorgeous whiffs of strawberry jam, dried fig, granite and crushed pepper introduce this voluminous blend of Grenache (90%), Syrah (8%) and Mourvèdre (2%). Delicate in mouthfeel and lifted by a fresh, mineral crush, it's a beautiful expression of the appellation's safre, or sandy, soils. Soft, silken tannins accentuate its fine-textured appeal. Lovely in youth but should improve through 2030 and hold longer still.
