Note de Dégustation de Jeb Dunnuck

This Les Cailloux Châteauneuf-du-Pape epitomizes the 1998 vintage and is stacked with huge, meaty and rich kirsch and black cherry fruit, melted licorice, liquefied stems and hot stone aromas on the nose. In the mouth, this is full bodied with incredibly rich fruit, a soft, mouth filling and weighty texture and beautiful length. This is a serious, stunning Chateauneuf that is drinking well now and should have no problem lasting 5 more!
