Even better is the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Barbe Rac, which comes from the western sector of the appellation. This wine intermixes pure kirsch liqueur with notes of sandalwood/balsam as well as licorice, lavender, and spice box. It is a deep, full-bodied, unctuously textured Chateauneuf du Pape that should drink well for 10-15 years. 92-95 points
