Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Barbe Rac--Vintage 2007
Rhône. French-bottled: Chapoutier
In original six-bottle wooden case
Tasting note: The 2007 Châteauneuf du Pape Barbe Rac, which comes from the western part of the appellation from a vineyard planted in 1901 and 1902, is, like the Croix de Bois, 100 Grenache aged totally in cement tanks. It boasts a dense purple color along with a sumptuous nose of black raspberries, black currants, incense, camphor, licorice, and garrigue. Full-bodied, voluptuously-textured, exuberant, rich, and pure with stunning depth and concentration, it can be drunk young or cellared for 15-20 years. 98 points.
