Chateau Fortia Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Baron 2021 Half Case Arlanza a hint of wilted roseDark and balsamic nose with wet earth and licorice aromas plus a touch of bark. Rich and full bodied, but focused and bright, this is an excellent special cuve of Chateauneuf. Its long, tense, stony and licorice finish suggests this has excellent aging potential. Sustainable. Drink or hold. 93 Pts James Suckling The elegant 2021 Chteauneuf du Pape Cuve du Baron comes out on top compared to the 2020 I tasted last year. Licorice, strawberry, dried herbs
