Sourced from a cooler, wetter growing season, it highlights an authentic, rugged old-school charm rather than over-extracted fruit. It pours a beautiful garnet color with brick-red glints in the glass, lifting with a mature bouquet of dried currants, stewed plums, and wild cherries. These fruit characteristics are heavily accented by secondary and tertiary notes of worn leather, mushroom, warm brick, and dried sage. On the palate, this full-bodied wine is smooth and highly savory, delivering rustic flavors of black tea, licorice, and roasted meat dapple. Matured for an extended four years in traditional oak foudres, its fruit layer is seamlessly anchored by integrated, chalky tannins and an earthy, mineral undertow that carries through to a persistent, dry finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"Yjhzub\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);'\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c!--TgQPHd|[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Pairs beautifully with rich game and barbecue dishes, such as five-spice barbecued spare ribs, grain-fed T-bone steak, slow-braised venison curry, roasted pork belly, roasted vegetables, and aged cheeses like mature Gouda.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"H2ReviewNotes\"\u003e98 Points - Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine shows complexities of cocoa, leather, rose petal and earth that juxtapose mouthwatering blackberry and plum flavors. Its fruit is at the forefront but anchored by a mineral undertow that should intensify with age. It's a beauty already, framed by fine, chalky tannins.

The 2014 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Laurence is the current release, bottled at the end of November 2018, and it's a beauty, marrying leather and cherry notes in a full-bodied but silky, easy-drinking format.

The finish is streaked with cedar hints. Hamstrung a bit by this cool and wet vintage, the fruit doesn't quite keep pace with the earth and herb elements, but fans of the rugged, old-school style will appreciate this.
