Domaine Henri Bonneau - Réserve des Célestins - 2012 - Châteauneuf-du-Pape Château Palmer Robert Parker's Wine Advocate :Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : According to Marcel Bonneau on this visit, all of the 2012 wine will be bottled as Reserve des Celestins. Tasted from barrel, the 2012 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve des Celestins flirts with that fine line between deep, chocolaty richness and raisiny over ripeness. This is full bodied and powerful but silky at the same time. If it's bottled soon, it should be amazing.
