    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Sensual, haunting and mesmerising. Floral, rose and red berry fruit characteristics. Expansive, seamless flavours that caress their way across the palate. Breath-taking. Barroche's legendary 100% Grenache cuvée that comes from a plot of 100 year old vines planted on the sandy soils at the junction of the Rayas, Grand Pierre and Pointu sectors, found on the way to Courthezon from Châteauneuf. The wine is fermented gently and aged in unobtrusive large old oak foudres. Only 4,000 bottles are made.

    Josh Raynolds,
    Vinous
    Deep ruby. An impressively complex, hugely perfumed bouquet evokes raspberry and cherry preserves, incense and exotic spices, and a nervy blood orange quality add energetic lift. Stains the palate with sappy, alluringly sweet red and blue fruit liqueur flavors that are complemented by suave lavender and allspice notes. Shows superb energy and spicy thrust on a remarkably long, floral-dominated finish, which is framed by smooth, fine-grained tannins. This wine stands out in a vintage that's hardly short of superb bottlings.
