Parker's Rating: 92

Although closed and backward, the 1995 exhibits a promising, muscular, virile style. erobertparker.com #E2003 Jan 2003 The 1995 Chateauneuf du Pape Barbe Rac is a fragrant wine with a dense purple color, and a sensational Provencal nose of olives, jammy black cherries and raspberries, roasted herbs, and pepper. Extremely dense and huge in the mouth, with massive body, glycerin, and tannin, this powerful Chateauneuf du Pape requires cellaring. Anticipated maturity for this luxury cuvee: 2000-2020.
