The 1997 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Mourre des Perdrix was an elegant, stylish wine with Burgundian-like black cherry fruit mixed with floral scents, pepper, and earth. With good depth, nice softness, some structure, but a forward and appealing, layered texture and richness, it should drink well for 7-8 years.
