94 WA. "Another rich, sexy red from this estate is the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Barberini, which checks in as 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre brought up in a mix of new barrels and stainless steel. It possesses overflowing notes of blackberries, black currants, sweet oak, licorice and roasted Provencal garrigue. Full-bodied, ripe and incredibly textured and seamless, this is a big blockbuster beauty that dishes out tons of pleasure today and will keep for another decade." Wine Advocate #229, Mar 2017 |
