The classic, deep ruby/purple-colored 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape offers scents of garrigue (that Provencal melange of herbs and earth), pepper, black cherries, and kirsch liqueur. With admirable structure, it is an authoritative expression of a Mediterranean-styled red with an unmistakable Provencal character. Rich, layered, and full-bodied, it will provide ideal drinking over the next 14-15 years. Importer: Alain Junguenet, Wines of France, Mountainside, NJ; tel. (908) 654-6173
