($65) Deep ruby. Vibrant cherry and red berry aromas, accented by baking spices and cracked pepper. Supple, full and sweet, with a deep cherry liqueur flavor lifted by gentle acidity on the back. Finishes supple, chewy and sweet, with noteworthy length. (Wines of France, Mountainside, NJ)

The top cuvee here, the 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee du Quet, which is from a single vineyard on the high, rocky plateau of Chateauneuf du Pape near Cabrieres and Gardiole, has a saturated ruby/purple color and a tight but gorgeous nose of kirsch liqueur, raspberries, plum, seaweed, and licorice. Medium to full-bodied with ripe tannin, superb depth, and a layered, concentrated mouthfeel, this is a beauty to drink over the next 12-15+ years.

Very lush, modern style. This almost oozes raspberry ganache and fig paste flavors, with lots of bass thanks to bold, toasty cocoa and mocha notes that dominate for now. But there's a fine minerality buried beneath it all, so cellar. 300 cases imported.
