Châteauneuf du Pape 2022 Cuvée Barberini Domaine de la Solitude

95 point - JebDunnuck.com: "The Barberini cuvée is always a slightly more modern styled wine, and the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Barberini is no exception, yet it still possesses an incredibly Provençal, complex, elegant style that has so much to love. Red and black fruits, sappy spring flowers, spice, and garrigue notes all shine on the nose, and despite being brought up in some new barrels, its oak is flawlessly integrated. With medium to full-bodied richness, a pure, layered mouthfeel, polished tannins, and a great finish, drink this brilliant wine over the coming 10-15 years. The blend of the 2022 is 50% Grenache, 35% Syrah, and 15% Mourvèdre raised in 60% new barrels."

94 point & ★★★★ (4 ud af 5) - James Suckling: "Stacks of candied oranges and smoke on the nose and very salty on the full-bodied, richly textured palate, this is a dramatic white Chateauneuf. Then comes a fantastic mineral freshness in the long, bright and salty finish. A cuvee of 70% roussanne and 30% clairette that is matured in oak, 70% of which is new. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

90 point - Robertparker.com: "Spicier and darker than the entry-level wine, the 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Barberini, a blend of 50% Grenache Noir, 35% Syrah and 15% Mourvèdre from vines planted on galets roulés, exhales a slightly oaky bouquet of licorice, clove and dark wild berries. Medium to full-bodied, powerful and rich, it's enrobing and generous with structured tannins that segue into an assertive tannic frame, making it a rather muscular Châteauneuf-du-Pape."

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!
