"Definitely a great wine!"
Considered Xavier's flagship cuvée, the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Anonyme is made from 60% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, with the remainder consisting of a multitude of other grape varieties. Deep ruby and plum in color in 2020, it offers a wonderful array of red and black fruits supported by ample notes of cedar, pepper, and spices. The barrel sample is medium-bodied to full-bodied, round and textured, with remarkable purity, first-rate tannins and an excellent finish. It is among the cream of the crop of the vintage."

About wine:
Lots of black cherries and plums with toasted spices, crushed nuts, roasted herbs, roasted meat, and damp earth. Full-bodied, with crisp tannins and a firm, chalky texture. Structured and robust, with notes of ground black pepper and blue flowers on the palate, with bright blue fruit flavors. Tonic and tense finish. Enjoy now or keep.
