Raymond Usseglio, Chateauneuf Du Pape Part Anges other_regions_italy and there's a small imperfectionDominated by Mourvdre (70%) and new oak (80%), the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape la Part des Anges is a beauty, as long as you set aside preconceptions about typicity and what you think Chteauneuf should taste like. Toasted cedar and vanilla accent black cherry and cola notes in this full bodied, rich, plush wine that comes at you in supple waves of generosity and flavor. It's approachable (although primary) right now, but it should really hit its stride
