The Wine Cellar Insider: 97 Points
Vibrant, rich, lush and silky, this elegant, concentrated, supple wine serves up seemingly endless waves of sweet, ripe, spicy kirsch, black raspberries and cherries with a floral accent. This is the top Southern Rhone wine from Chapoutier. Produced from 100% old vine Grenache , the wine should drink well young, yet age for 15 or more years with ease. Drink from 2024 - 2038
Wine Spectator: 96 Points
Ripe and alluring, with a silky feel despite ample depth to the waves of cassis, bitter cherry and black berry fruit flavors. The finish boasts garrigue, singed cedar, dried anise, sanguine and black tea notes. A beauty for the cellar. Best from 2024 through 2036. 9 cases imported.
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
A strong effort, Chapoutier's tank-aged 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Barbe Rac is 100% Grenache from a parcel of old vines near the western edge of the appellation. As always, it showcases outrageously pure red raspberries and cherries, this vintage adding minor floral notes and showing less garrigue than it has in some other years. Packed with flavor, this bold, full-bodied wine features gentle waves of silky tannins, framing a long, intense finish.
Jeb Dunnuck: 96 Points
Tons of garrigue, Provençal spice, pepper, and kirsch liqueur aromas and flavors emerge from the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Barbe Rac, a quintessential 100% Grenache revealing full-bodied richness, the ripe, concentrated style of the vintage, building tannins, and a great finish. All Grenache that was destemmed and aged 18 months concrete, it’s going to benefit from 3-5 years of bottle age and cruise for 15-20 years in cold cellars.
