Châteauneuf du Pape 2021 Cuvée Barberini Domaine de la Solitude

95 point & ★★★★★ - James Suckling: "What an exciting nose this Chateauneuf has for the challenging 2021 vintage. Very meaty and savory nose with a touch of soy sauce, Great balance of creamy richness and bold yet fine tannins that give the finish a lot of drive. Doesn’t want to let go. A cuvee based on grenache, syrah and mourvedre from old vines growing on galet cobblestone soils. 70% of the wine was aged in oak barrels of various sizes. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

94 point - Robert Parker: "The red 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Barberini actually sees less new oak than the white version (about 70% is aged in barrel). Leather, earth, spice, vanilla, black cherries and plums all appear on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is creamy and lush, with a long, softly dusty finish tinged with dark chocolate."

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!
