Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Reservée--Vintage 1998
Rhône, Domaine-bottled: Pegau
In original wooden cases
Tasting note: Pegaus 1998 Cuvée Reservée is just opening up after a period where it seemed muted and uninviting. Its a classic Pegau eclipsed only recently by the 2001, 2003, and 2007 Cuvée Reservée. Dark garnet with some pink at the rim, the wine displays the classic new saddle leather, garrigue, kirsch liqueur and blacker fruit notes, with some balsam wood, pepper and meat juices. It is full-bodied, broadly flavoured, rich, with good acidity, and still some tannin to resolve. It can be drunk now as well as kept for another 10-15 years.
