Château La Nerthe Châteauneuf-du-Pape 1999
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceBlack berry, plum, gamey, smoky, vanilla aromas. Somewhat tight and tannic on the palate, has good cherry, spicy, earthy, smoky pepper flavours. Slightly leaner style but maintains the elegance and structure. Needs three to five years at a minimum. Definitely a 1999 with the tighter tannins.Tasted: 01 March 2002Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:BC | $0.00 | 750ml |
