True to form, the 2018 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Trois Sources is a softer, more elegant wine than the Les Hauts-Lieux and offers a gorgeous perfume of black cherries, black licorice, tapenade, violets, herbes de Provence, and jus de viande. Deep, full-bodied, and beautifully layered, it gains weight with time in the glass and is going to benefit from just short-term cellaring. It doesn’t have the concentration for any long-term cellaring yet my money is on it evolving nicely for a solid 10-12 years.
Very well-defined, with anise, black tea and a core of cassis, plum and blackberry puree flavors that spark inner energy while being carried by racy iron, savory and garrigue notes. This is also less forward than most of its colleagues in this vintage.
