Note di degustazione
(aged entirely in concrete tanks): Brilliant ruby-red. Explosively perfumed aromas of fresh raspberry, spicecake and potpourri take on a smoky mineral nuance with air. Offers palate-staining red fruit and floral flavors that stretch out and turn sweeter and spicier with air. Closes silky, minerally and long, with sneaky tannins and an emphatic echo of raspberry.

My favorite wine in the lineup was the 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape Barbe Rac. Coming from a plot of old vines located on the western side of the appellation and made from 100% Grenache, it offers vintage-defying levels of blackberry, currants, licorice and smoked herbs on the nose. These carry to a full-bodied, inky colored Châteauneuf du Pape that has a superb, voluptuous texture, excellent mid-palate depth and sweet tannin, all of which suggest it will evolve for 10-15 years.
Lurid ruby-red. Complex, highly perfumed scents of ripe raspberry, boysenberry and incense, with hints of allspice and white pepper gaining power as the wine opens in the glass. Juicy, seamless and alluringly sweet, with nervy red fruit flavors showing excellent depth. This suave, vivacious wine finishes with well-integrated tannins and wonderful purity and length.
