Domaine Henri Bonneau - Réserve des Célestins - 2016 - Châteauneuf-du-Pape Château Pavie Macquin and a long finish —Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : In contrast, the 2014 Chteauneuf du Pape Reserve des Clestins is a significant step up and has ample density and depth, as well as medium to full bodied richness; the wine has lots of sweet kirsch and cherry fruits, garrigue and peppery aromas and flavors. In addition, the tannin is sweet and polished, and it has more concentration, depth and richness than most in the vintage.
