Rotem & Mounir Saouma, Magis, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, 2016

This 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. Scored 95-97
