Tasting notes
The 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape offers a medium ruby/purple color as well as a big, forceful, perfumed bouquet of licorice, crushed pepper, Provencal herbs, blackberries, and cherries. The aromatic fireworks are followed by a soft, easy going, medium to full-bodied wine that the French would call a vin de plaisir. The complex nose, evolved palate, luscious fruit, abundant glycerin, and velvety texture have resulted in a charming, forward Chateauneuf to enjoy over the next 6-8 years.
