Chapoutier, Chateauneuf Du Pape Croix Bois Vintage:2006 though this specific bottle seemedVery pure and driven, with a great beam of macerated red currant fruit laced with licorice, raspberry, bittersweet cocoa and incense notes that extend through the long, mouthwatering finish. Very rich, but offers admirable precision. Drink now through 2022. 861 cases made. JM
