Chateauneuf Du Pape Cuvee Des Cadettes 1998 Chateau La Nerthe
Review this store From the outstanding 1998 vintage and scoring 96/100 Parker points this stunning wine "A great example of this famous cuvee which is almost always Mourvedre-dominated the 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee des Cadettes is just hitting its adolescence. Dense bluish/purple with an extraordinary nose of blueberry black raspberry graphite smoke and mineral this full-bodied rich wine has resolved most of its tannins and thrown off any evidence of the new oak barrels it was aged in. With a finish that goes on for a good 45 seconds this is a modern-styled but brilliant example of Chateauneuf du Pape where the Mourvedre is the dominant grape in the blend. Perhaps the '01 will achieve this level of quality but the 1998 remains one of the finest Cuvee des Cadettes ever made. It should continue to drink well for another 20 years." Drink now - 2030. This vintage wine is shipped in a deluxe silk lined wooden presentation box with four wine accessories (corkscrew wine pourer drip stopper & wine stopper) [worth £14.99] at no extra cost. £129.97
