Michel Chapoutier Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Barbe Rac 2008 6x75cl

89-91 Points, Josh Raynolds, Vinous Deep red. Tighter and more focused on the nose than the Croix de Bois, displaying scents of redcurrant and cherry complicated by white pepper and minerals. Zesty red fruit flavors become smokier with air and offer good mineral lift and snap. Gains a floral quality on the nicely focused, sweet finish. I like this wine's clarity and vivacity.Review Date: 01 Jan 10
