The 1996 Chateauneuf du Pape Barbe Rac displays an exotic nose of barbeque spices, burning wood, and sweet cherry fruit. The plum/cherry color reveals some lightening at the edge. The wine is full-bodied and dense, with copious spice, tobacco, and earthy notes. This rich, chewy, outstanding Chateauneuf du Pape is one of the finest wines of the vintage.
