Domaine Bois de Boursan - Châteauneuf-du-Pape 1999 (
16.5/20 Drink now 2012
Still maintaining a deep colour with very open nose of rustic, meaty notes with a good dose of Brett. To my mind that adds to this wine, but I know it won’t be to everyone’s liking. Full bodied, ample drying tannins with a dusky finish to it. Very good. On the plateau, drink up.Wonderful value given this was picked up for under 10 Euros at a French supermarket a few years ago. I recently saw a younger vintage of the same wine for sale through Adnams for twice this. Given the high standard of this generic Châteauneuf, I'd be very interested to try their top wine "Cuvée Felix".
