Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Croix de Bois--Vintage 1998
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: Chapoutier
The magnums in gift-packed original wooden cases
Tasting Note: A superlative effort by Chapoutier, the 1998 Croix de Bois is a classic, old style Châteauneuf du Pape revealing notes of garrigue (that herbes de Provence and earth melange of aromas and flavours), plenty of pepper, gorgeously explosive, earthy, black cherry fruit, full body, and no hard edges. It possesses fabulous texture, terrific concentration, and a style suggesting it should drink well for 15-20 years. 93 Points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 138 Dec 2001
