Lot 290 Details
CUVÉE DU VATICAN CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE RÉSERVE SIXTINE 2007 (3)
Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

I loved the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Réserve Sixtine, and this is probably the finest example of this cuvee since the 2003. Made from 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and the rest Mourvèdre, destemmed and aged in a mix of foudre, old barrels and small amounts of new barrels, it offers terrific purity in its black raspberry and cassis fruits, melted licorice and cured meat aromas and flavors. With full-bodied richness, beautiful mid-palate density and no hard edges, it’s a joy to drink today but will certainly keep for another decade or more. February 2014 Drink: 2012-2027 95 WA
