M. Chapoutier Barbe Rac Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2001

$99

The profound 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape Barbe Rac boasts a deep ruby/purple color as well as a nose of garrigue, licorice, kirsch liqueur, cassis, and new saddle leather. This superbly concentrated, full-bodied, multidimensional wine coats the palate with glycerin and sweet fruit. There is not a hard edge to be found, but wow, what intensity and length (the finish lasts for close to one minute). The 2001 should turn out to be a legendary effort capable of lasting 15-20 years.

2000 bottle, probable not the best stored bottle, already lots of generic aromas of lac and paint that distort the character, overall power and structure are still there

Colour of Black Tea with tawny rim. Aromas of cinnamon spice and leather. A delicious wine where descriptors become superlative. Soft and mature- Hint of tarry tannins at the finish. One of the 1001 wines.

Massive bottle variation, four bottles, one was stunning two very good and one just tired. The one that was on was great Grenache.
