Score 87-88/100 · Drink 2008, Robert Parker, Feb 1999

The deep ruby/colored 1997 Chateauneuf du Pape Barbe Rac exhibits plenty of kirsch, smoke, and herbs in its meaty, fragrant bouquet. Full-bodied, dense, rich, and layered, with good volume and persistence, but hard and tough in the finish, it should be consumed over the next 7-8 years. Importer: Paterno Imports, Lake Bluff, IL; tel. (847) 604-8900
