博斯凱酒莊香緹梅樂老藤紅葡萄酒

點擊次數：11120

Fully mature, this wine displays classic Provencal characteristics of kirsch liqueur, garrigue, lavender, black cherry, plum, and soy. Even some seaweed notes make an appearance in this beautiful, full-bodied wine, which should be drunk over the next 5-6 years.

The star of the show from Bosquet des Papes was the 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape Chante le Merle Vieilles Vignes. Fully mature, it reveals impressive notes of roasted garrigue, lots of cured meats, licorice and coffee bean notes to go with a ripe, full-bodied, textured feel on the palate. It has an old-school feel, yet is neither overtly rustic nor astringent. Drink it over the coming 4-5 years. The blend here is 80% Grenache and 10% each of Syrah and Mourvedre, all of which was aged in foudre and demi-muids.

A classic Chateauneuf du Pape with sweet, complex aromatics of kirsch and cherries, this full-bodied, sumptuous wine possesses superb depth and body, as well as an aging potential of 15-20 years. Issue #131 rating: 93
