(Domaine La Barroche Signature Chateauneuf du Pape) #3; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-medium/dark; NOSE-a hint of petrol; an aggressive tannic; a little ham; gamey; not feeling this; PALATE-good firm tannins; a little heat on the back-end; kind of awkward and disjointed on the finish; none of the typical strawberry and pepper you typically get from Grenache; GUESS-$23; JR-93; RP-92; WS-92; GV-83
(Barroche Signature Chateauneuf du Pape) #3; VaynerPAZZZ (based on QPR); COLOR-medium; NOSE-quite tight; a tad of dark black plum on the back-end; PALATE-good, but a little disjointed; a little one dimensional as well; I like the intensity of this wine; these '07 CdP are really lean and focused; some good black fruit and pepper, but not as complex; big wine; WS-92; GV-90
