Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
The blockbuster 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Barbe
Rac shows classic garrigue notes intermixed with ground pepper,
lavender, and sweet black currant and black cherry notes with
hints of raspberry and olive. The wine is full-bodied has a boatload
of tannin, fabulous concentration, and a finish of close to 50
seconds. This is a brilliant Barbe Rac that should be at its best
between '10 and '25.
