The Chateau La Nerthe Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2012 is an impressive wine in several ways. Its color is a striking deep red, with a purple border. The nose is inviting and intense, with well-blended notes of black fruits and sweet spice. The palate is also full of intense flavors, with black cherry, blackberry, and roasted spice. Most impressive, however, is the way that all of these characteristics are blended together. This wine mingles intense flavor with a silky smooth texture, freshness with deep flavor, and cellaring potential with a delightful youth. Enjoy.
