Rotem & Mounir Saouma, Chateauneuf Du Pape Magis Blanc other_regions_australia ground anise and verbena notesThis wine is a work in progress but everything suggests that it will be a majestic Magis. At this stage it's a kind of engine of blossom, hurling spring fresh fruit tree petals out in every direction. On the palate it's hyper expressive and articulate; blossomy for now, but with plenty of marrow packing its bones, too. Look out for this exceptionally promising wine in a year or two. Barrel sample.
