Description
TASTING NOTE: A fantastic 2010 and up there with the brilliant '03 and '09, the 2010 Château Fortia Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée du Baron is dense, meaty, and shows fantastic southern Rhône character. Possessing copious black cherry and currant styled fruit, saddle leather, licorice, garrigue, and pepper on the nose, this medium to full-bodied red is very traditional and focused on the palate, with a pure, balanced feel, building richness, and a chewy, structured finish. It needs 2-4 years of bottle age, and will drink well for 12-15 years. Score: 94 (Jeb Dunnuck, therhonereport.com, Sept. 2012)
Tasting Notes
The dark raspberry and blackberry fruit is caressing in feel, with well-embedded graphite, spice and licorice notes. A perfumy black tea accent adds charm on the finish. Rich, but elegant overall. Drink now through 2025. Score - 91. (James Molesworth, winespectator.com, Oct. 15, 2014)
