2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge Barbe Rac, Chapoutier (6 x Bottle)
The 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Barbe Rac has turned out beautifully. Stunning aromas of red raspberries and black cherries, crushed stone and even a hint of roses emerge on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is expansive and silky, ending in a flurry of gently dusty tannins that only further accentuate this wine's fruity depths. Although approachable now, it should drink well for more than a decade.

Vinous
Glistening ruby. Expansive, mineral-accented raspberry, cherry liqueur, exotic spice and licorice aromas show outstanding delineation. Sweet and expansive in the mouth, offering impressively concentrated red/blue fruit, floral pastille, spicecake and cola flavors that stain the palate. Shows outstanding energy and supple texture on a wonderfully long, floral- and spice-driven finish shaped by polished, even tannins.
