2 fl. Henri Bonneau Cuvée Speciale 1998 (2)

2 fl. Châteauneuf-du-Pape Henri Bonneau Cuvée Speciale 1998. 2200 fl. produceret og kun lavet årgang 1990 og 1998. Robert Parker's note:"Bonneau?s 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Speciale is something along the lines of 16.5%-plus natural alcohol with about 4-5% residual sugar. It is an amazing wine that tastes relatively dry, with huge extract of blackberries, roasted meats, and sweet strawberries and cherries intermixed with licorice, smoke and pepper. It makes a massive introduction on the palate and expands vertically, as if it were a skyscraper. It is intense, rich, and compelling, and no doubt capable of lasting 30-40 years. (The 1990 Cuvee Speciale, which has much in common with this wine, is still an infant in terms of its development.) This is a remarkable, but controversial wine. 96 points
