1992 La Bernardine

1992 Chapoutier La Bernardine Chateauneuf du Pape - I recall this wine as being quite dark when young, so the almost Burgundian garnet colour it has taken on comes as a bit of a surprise, though given that it's 100% Grenache I suppose it shouldn't. The nose is quite good - leather and a bit of pepper with a significant perfume component. In the mouth it is a little hot, but balanced and sweet, and it ends well and with good length. There are some tannins remaining, but I believe this wine is at peak right now and will hold for several years.
