Tasted in London with a Bordeaux merchant

Part of the wine matured in 20

over the span of 38 years

just a matter of taste

the oak notes take a greater dominance than usual – here they show caramel sweetness overlaid with cloves and tar

Chapoutier, Chateauneuf Du Pape Barbe Rac other_regions Tasted in London with aFull ruby. Deeply pitched aromas of dark fruit preserves, incense and smoky Indian spices, with a mineral element adding vivacity. Stains the palate with intense black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors, with a spicy element providing lift. Sappy and pliant on the finish, which hangs on with noteworthy tenacity and building sweetness. Josh Raynolds
