Châteauneuf du Pape 2020 Cuvée Barberini Domaine de la Solitude

6 Stjerner i Jyllandsposten: Mørk, kraftig næse. Intens, ja, voldsom vin. Pebrede, mørke krydderier Ganske poleret, meget rig, men nydeligt balanceret. For ung, hvis den skal drikkes nu, skal den have tid på en karaffel. 94 point.

94 point - Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Barberini is a more modern styled effort based on 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre, and 15% Syrah that's brought up in new barrels and concrete tanks. Its deeper ruby/plum color is followed by a great nose of both red and black fruits as well as chocolate, ground pepper, and spicy, meaty nuances. Playing in the supple, forward style of the vintage, it's medium to full-bodied, has a layered, elegant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. Despite a kiss of barrique on the nose, this is pure Provençal goodness." 

93 point - WineSpectator: "Offers crushed dark plum, baked cherry pie and rooibos tea flavors that are fleshy yet pure, with good vibrancy and lift. Juicy and supple, with chalky tannins coasting through the medium-length finish, with graphite adding mineral depth. Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah."

Her får du en overdådig Châteauneuf du Pape, som er magtfuld i al sin saft og kraft. Her er lag på lag af kirsebær, violer, lakrids, tobak og chokolade. Solitude formår at kreere en rund vin med silkebløde tanniner, som er velbalanceret, elegant og forførende samtidig med, at den er fyldig, rig og koncentreret. Toppen af Châteauneuf du Pape!
