Domaine de la Janasse, Chateauneuf du Pape, Chaupin 2014 Cabernet Franc The season began as one93 Vinous Limpid ruby. Intense, highly perfumed blue fruit and floral pastille aromas are complemented by suggestions of allspice and licorice. Silky and focused on the palate, offering concentrated boysenberry and cherry flavors that take a darker turn as the wine opens up. Finishes impressively long, displaying lingering berry and floral nuances, gentle tannins and a touch of smoky minerals. (JR) 04 2016
