Château La Nerthe

Dark red, with a purple border. The nose is rich, pure, and complex, with notes of black fruits and sweet spices. On the palate, lots of roundness, with soft refined tannins. Finish is long, with notes of black cherry, black berry, and a silky texture. A feeling of youth and freshness emerges. A wine with great cellaring potential and with an impressive aromatic expression

90 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The '08 Ch la Nerthe Chateauneuf-du-Pape is a modern style, with a good juicy, fairly primal core of red and black cherry compote, laced with sweet spice, anise and cocoa notes.

92 PTS ROBERT PARKER. The '10 La Nerthe has the rare combination of unbridled power and freshness, minerality and abundant aromatics; delicious blueberry, boysenberry and black raspberry flavors.
