This is a real treasure for your cellar

white currants and peaches

Mineral- and smoke-accented blackberry and blueberry on the intensely perfumed nose and in the mouth

Barroche, Chateauneuf Du Pape Pure Vintage:2016 This is a real treasurePowerful, concentrated, plush, ripe and almost dense, there is a wall of dark, red fruit, jam, pepper and earthy notes. The full bodied,opulently, textured finish leaves you with spicy, pure kirsch, black cherry and pepper notes. Before tasting this bottle, I was aware of all the comments regarding secondary fermentations, so I looked for it. There were no issues with this specific bottle.
