There is good weight and punch to the velvety and round medium weight flavors that possess excellent intensity on the firm and somewhat disjointed finish

Raymond Usseglio, Chateauneuf Du Pape Part Anges Vintage:2024 50/50 Pinot Noir & ChardonnayDominated by Mourvdre (70%) and new oak (80%), the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape la Part des Anges is a beauty, as long as you set aside preconceptions about typicity and what you think Chteauneuf should taste like. Toasted cedar and vanilla accent black cherry and cola notes in this full bodied, rich, plush wine that comes at you in supple waves of generosity and flavor. It's approachable (although primary) right now, but it should really hit its stride
