Les Cailloux Chateauneuf-du-Pape 1998
Our last bottle of André Brunel’s standard CdP, one of the few 1998 CdPs from my cellar that, although it looks and tastes ageless, isn’t really improving. Don’t get me wrong, we must have gone through 36 bottles (or 60+ including ones bought for a neighbor and friend), nothing per se wrong with the wine, but it’s not gained in anything, nor even changed much at all. Terrific raspberry-red colour, bright fruit, lively acids, freshness. Never a particularly complex wine, soft smoky minerality, smooth finish. dp 90-
Greetings from Switzerland, David.
