Score 88/100 · Drink 2007, Robert Parker, Feb 1999

The 1996 Chateauneuf du Pape is the quintessential Provencal wine given its flashy display of pepper, licorice, and herbes de Provence scents intertwined with black cherries and salty ocean breeze notes. Generous, expansive, and fat for the vintage, it exhibits jammy cassis/cherry and olive flavors, medium to full body, and no hard edges. Drink this delicious, sumptuously-style Chateauneuf over the next 5-7+ years. Importer: Alain Junguenet, Wines of France, Mountainside, NJ; tel. (908) 654-6173
