Scores
93 / 100"Dominated by Grenache (it accounts for 90% of the blend, with 5% each Mourvèdre and Syrah), the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Heredita was vinified in stainless steel, then matured for a year in demi-muids. Black cherries, black olives and black licorice lead the way, followed by a concentrated and weighty, full-bodied feel on the palate. Solid, without being overbearingly tannic, this shows significant authority and ample length."

"A chewy and chocolaty blend of 90% grenache, 5% syrah and 5% mourvedre. Full-bodied with firm tannins. Pretty rich and structured with notes of dark cherries, dried herbs, cedar and dried spices. Some dark chocolate and peppercorns on the palate brings energy to the vivid finish. Drink or hold."

"The 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Hérédita aged for one year in demi-muids and comes in at 15.5% alcohol. It displays aromas of jammy red and black fruits, dried herbs and a splash of mint. Smooth tannins structure the full-bodied palate, kept in check by lively acidity."
