The 2016 Bosquet des Papes La Folie Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a full-bodied, concentrated wine with notes of ripe red and dark berries, such as cherry and blackberry, mingled with exotic spices, incense, and floral notes. It has a velvety texture with plummy richness balanced by energy, and its long, spicy finish features notes of cola, allspice, and red fruit liqueur. The wine also shows hints of smoke, char, caramel, and pepper, with fine-grained tannins that are approachable but can improve with age.
