Pure 2006 Domaine la Barroche

The 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Pure looks to be nearly as brilliant as the 2007. One of the vintage’s most compelling wines, it should be drunk now and over the next 12-14 years. Deep ruby-colored much lighter than the Fiancee, with beautiful notes of sweet kirsch liqueur, loamy soil, licorice, spice box, and high quality cigar tobacco, this wine is opulent, fleshy, and flamboyant with great purity. It serves as a riveting statement to the greatness of old vine Grenache grown in sandy soils.

Superdriven and pure, with a massive core of raspberry ganache and boysenberry fruit laid over dark spice, anise and floral notes. Long and authoritative through the finish, with huge but perfectly embedded, rounded tannins that take a back seat to the enticing spice, fig bread and licorice notes. This is a classic expression of Grenache.
