Intense ruby red color with purple hues. Complex and fine nose: mineral toasted notes, black fruit jam, spices. The mouth is frank from the start and rises in power throughout the tasting. Lots of fat and coating in the middle of the mouth, then a more taut and chiseled finish. Notes of fruit brandy, blueberry, spices. The tannins still require a little aging to fully soften. Very nice persistence.

Shimmering crimson. Intensely perfumed, mineral- and spice-accented red berry preserve and floral pastille scents show excellent clarity and pick up a hint of incense with air. Silky and expansive on the palate, offering juicy raspberry liqueur and candied lavender flavors that display alluring sweetness and seamless texture. Finishes with solid, spicy thrust, harmonious tannins and an emphatic echo of ripe red fruit.

More kirsch, black cherries, garrigue, cracked pepper, and violets emerge from the 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Du Baron, which displays a slightly more classic Grenache character, medium to full body, terrific purity, and a great finish. It's going to benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and keep for a decade. This cuvée is 50% Grenache, 35% Syrah, and 15% Mourvèdre, brought up in a mix of foudre and tank.
