2 fl. Henri Bonneau Reserve des Céléstins 1998 (2)

2 fl. Châteauneuf-du-Pape Henri Bonneau Reserve des Céléstins 1998. Robert Parker's note:"This wine is reminiscent of Roger Sabon?s Le Secret des Sabon, with a style that borders on Italian Amarone. Powerful, full-bodied, alcoholic flavors, redolent with truffle, meat juices, roasted herbs, tar, sweaty saddle leather, plum, and soy, are incredibly complex but also provocative, and no doubt controversial. In the mouth, the wine is fleshy, full-bodied, thick, and juicy, pushing the level of ripeness to the limit. A distinctive and singular effort, as all Henri Bonneau?s wines are, this wine is silky and velvety, but should continue to drink well for another 25-30 years." 96-98 points
