Maison Chapoutier
Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Barbe Rac' 2009
Deeper more sensuous aromas than the Croix de Bois. Even though it is still fermenting it has an exciting, mysterious and wild personality. Complex, exotic, herbal and tarry black/ redcurrant fruit is shot through with garrigue and hints of chocolate. Restrained and powerful. Stunning.
Dry on the palate, soft acidity, low to medium tannins. Rounder and deeper than the Croix de Bois, again sensuous and very full in the mouth. Juicy kirsch, redcurrant with hints of strawberry, chocolate coat the tongue. Intensely herbal on the middle with an underlying fruit conserve note and finishing with a slight floral flourish. When this has finished fermenting it is going to be an absolute storner! (Tasting Note from 2010 - CG)
