Order wine : Châteauneuf du Pape 2003 Barbe Rac - Chapoutier
Domaine Chapoutier
96/100 Wine Spectator
When to drink it : Can be drunk now, or cellared until 2030.
Tasted by James Molesworth: "Loaded with racy red and blackcurrant fruit, this wine also offers up flavours of cocoa, bacon, smoky applewood and tar, but remains remarkably fresh and vibrant right through to the end. It's surprisingly approachable now, but its rock-solid tannins will keep it going for a generation. Drink now through 2030."
