Tasting Notes

WA92

More Burgundian in style, the 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape is a medium to full-bodied, pure and elegant effort that possesses notions of damp earth, truffle and pepper to go with a core of black cherry and darker berry fruit. At full maturity, it will continue to evolve gracefully over the coming decade, yet I’d aim for drinking bottles over the coming couple of years.

V90

Moderately saturated medium red. Reticent but pure aromas of kirsch, currant, raspberry and spices. Dense, rich and chocolatey, with the compelling freshness of the vintage`s better examples. Really spreads out to coat the palate. Finishes with fairly full, chewy tannins and excellent persistence.
