Tasting Notes
- WA100
- A rock-star 1999 that`s drinking at point (like most wines in the vintage today), it should continue to evolve nicely going forward. Shockingly good, the 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape le Secret du Sabon tastes like a hypothetical blend of the 2007 and the 2001. Powerful, massive, concentrated and beautifully ripe, it offers notions of kirsch, currants, peppered meats, Asian spice and licorice in its seamless, yet voluptuous and hedonistic personality. It`s a crazy good bottle of wine that could be considered over-the-top by some, but who cares when it`s this good? If I had bottles, I`d line them up for drinking as you don`t want to miss this beauty while it`s drinking at point.
