I am auctioning two bottles of Clos des Papes 1999. The bottle labels have some rips and damp staining from the Eurocave where they’ve been stored since purchase by me on release. They have been stored under perfect conditions since then. The levels are well into the neck and there are no signs of seepage at all.
The wine can be shipped to you, or you can collect it from Nth Wiltshire by arrangement.
ST’s review at 91pts : (bottled in March; a blend of 65% grenache, 20% mourvedre, 10% syrah and 5% counoise, muscardelle and vaccarese) Moderately saturated red-ruby. Complex nose melds redcurrant, kirsch, iron, tobacco, mocha and spices. Chewy, intensely flavored and fairly deep, but rather tight following the bottling. As usual for this estate, in a rather claret-like style, without the obvious surmaturite of some Chateauneufs. Firm acidity and sweet, fine tannins give this wine the backbone to age slowly. Finishes with subtle persistence.
