Domaine du Pegau Cuvée da Capo Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache Syrah 2016

$379

A step up over the 2015, the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Da Capo is another perfect wine in the making and reminds me of the incredible 1998. Inky colored, with a huge, powerful bouquet of garrigue, pepper, kirsch, cured meats, and bouquet garni, this rocking effort hits the palate with full-bodied richness, building tannin, yet a wealth of pure, opulent fruit. This is classic Pégau all the way, and if forced to pick one wine in the vintage to buy, this might be it... it's going to cruise in the cellar for 2+ decades. Jeb Dunnuck

I was hoping for more. Maybe should have decanted longer.

We obviously drank this bottle too young. Still quite tannic and very clean and primary. But this bottle was dedicated to an appreciated wine friend of ours and his casserole. When do we meet again, Mr. Le Docteur?
