Note di degustazione
The 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape blanc (80% Roussanne, 15% Grenache, and 5% Picardin) is a rich, full-bodied, powerful white with notes of honeysuckle, rose petal, cinnamon, and oranges. The 1998 is restrained, and in need of several years of cellaring. This wine possesses uncommon longevity (a 1980 tasted at Beaucastel in June was remarkably fresh and vigorous), so do not be surprised to see the 1998 evolve and last for two decades.

Apple, pear and ginger on the nose; shows a slightly candied fruit aspect. Very rich and spicy, with firm backbone. Still a bit aggressive on the finish, with some alcohol showing.
