The 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Imperiale is a blockbuster that checks in as 95% Grenache and 5% other permitted varieties. From a mix of pebble and sandy soils, and aged all in concrete tank, it hit 16% natural alcohol, yet is fresh, elegant and layered. Giving up classic seaweed, olive brine, leather, garrigue and sweet currant-like fruits, it's full-bodied and mouth filling, yet has no hard edges and a silky, textured finish that just begs you to take another sip. Drink this beautiful, fully mature Grenache over the coming 4-5 years.
