Tasting Notes and Scores
In the same ballpark, the 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape Croix de Bois has a softer, more upfront and textured feel then the Barbe Rac, which always seems to me to be slightly more serious and focused. Giving up loads of jammy blackberry and assorted darker fruits, licorice, and wild herbs, this full-bodied, ripe and layered effort makes the most of the vintage. It will drink nicely on release and dish out plenty of pleasure through 2023.

Vivid ruby-red. Ripe, deeply pitched black raspberry and cherry compote scents are sharpened by notes of white pepper and smoky minerals. Pliant and seamless on the palate, offering intense red and dark berry flavors and a suave floral pastille nuance. The clinging finish features gentle tannins and a hint of anise.
