Château de la Gardine Châteauneuf du Pape 1999

Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceSpicy, peppery, intense licorice, game, black cherry jam with a hint of barnyard and sweat. Rich and round but has some tannins. Very spicy, white pepper, raspberry plum fruit on the palate with a touch of earth, prune and leather in the finish. Needs two to five years to round out but well balanced.Tasted: 01 March 2002Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:
