Chteauneuf-du-Pape, Barbe Rac--Vintage 1990 Rhne. Domaine-bottled: Chapoutier Tasting note: One of the most awesome red wines I have ever tasted. The opaque dark ruby/purple colour is followed by a nose that is at first reticent and backward. With airing, powerful aromas of black raspberries, chocolate, roasted nuts, herbs, and earth eventually emerge. In the mouth there is extraordinary richness, gobs of glycerin, a full-bodied, unctuous texture, and a finish that reveals stunning extraction of flavour and high tannins. 97+ Points. Robert Parker.
