Tasting notes
The dark ruby/garnet-colored 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape offers up a sexy nose of fruitcake, spice box, plums, and kirsch liqueur. It is immensely seductive and voluptuously-textured, with loads of alcohol, glycerin, and fruit. This luxuriously rich, decadently-styled Chateauneuf du Pape is hard to resist. Drink it over the next 10-12 years. Importers: Paramount Brands, Port Chester, NY; tel. (914) 937-5007, Boston Wine Co., Somerville, MA; tel. (617) 666-5939, and J & R Selections, Mt.
