WTN: 1999 Chapoutier Barbe-Rac CdP

by Jenise » Fri Dec 12, 2008 5:15 pm

Fourth of four bottles I owned. The other three were consumed over the last year because they were showing early maturity and so darned good in a "I can't imagine these being any better" kind of way. If this bottle's any indication, I've done right (for once). Though still very enjoyable, it's just a little less of everything great about the bottles that preceded it (perfumed, floral, delineated) and just a bit more of everything that happens to a wine when it starts a downhill descent. Might be bottle variation, might not.

Thanks or that. I have just one bottle of this and will look to open up sooner rather than later!
