Chateauneuf du Pape cuvee Boisrenard 1999 Boisrenard

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (90)

The saturated ruby/purple-colored 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Boisrenard offers a classy nose of black fruits intermixed with cedar and vanillin (a portion of this cuvee spends time in new oak), followed by powerful, full-bodied, admirably pure flavors. A modern-styled Chateauneuf, it combines its Provencal soul with a forward-thinking, progressive style. It requires 2-3 years of cellaring, and should drink well for 15-16 years.

Tannic, well-crafted blockbuster Rh?ne red that's a blend of modern and traditional. Gorgeous, full-bodied and dark-colored. Thick, rich and ripe, but with a good dose of fresh acidity. Some obvious fancy oak, lovely blackberry, plum and smoky notes. Serious ager here.
