Domaine du Pegau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Réservée 1999
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceRich open, ripe cherry, blackberry aromas with a peppery, toasted kirsch character. Super rich and ripe in the mouth with intense black fruit flavours that persist well into a smoky/gamy warm finish. Big ripe tannins add heft and weight to a super ripe peppery finish. A blockbuster style worth cellaring and the 2000 will be even better.Tasted: 01 May 2002Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:BC | $58.95 | 750ml |
