Tasting notes
Reaching near the end of its best life, the 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Centenaire is bricking at the rim, with scents of mint, roasted meat and dark chocolate evident on the nose. Full-bodied and richly concentrated, it even carries a bit of dusty tannin on the finish. Still, I'd drink this over the next few years.

(80% grenache and 20% syrah) Ruby-red. Explosively perfumed, exotic bouquet of ripe raspberry, cherry and incense. Lush, velvety red berry liqueur flavors display an amazing combination of depth and vivacity, with slow-building smoked meat and succulent herb qualities. This is already complex, and though it has the depth and balance to age I suspect that it will give considerable early pleasure. Brunel told me that the yield for this wine in 2006 was about 26 hectoliters per hectare.
