Chapoutier Chateauneuf du Pape
Donated by Alice and Neal Barkus
Magnum of 2003 M.Chapoutier Chateauneuf du Pape Croix de Bois with original wood case (WA: 93 WS: 92)
The Wine Advocate raves that this 2003 Chapoutier Chateauneuf du Pape has aromas "of herbs, pepper, and spice box. Smelling and tasting this wine is like walking through an open air Provencal market. It is beautifully fragrant, rich, full-bodied, heady, and long." The Wine Spectator cites its "mixed red and dark berry fruit, along with plenty of dark cocoa, mineral and tar notes. Muscular finish shows more pepper, tobacco and structure, with fresh acidity too."
