Score 88/100 · Drink 2000-2010, Robert Parker, Oct 2000
A soft cuvee, the fruit-driven, elegant, seductive, open-knit 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape (often called Cuvee Classique or Cuvee Tradition by the local cognoscenti) offers aromas of spicy black cherries, plum liqueur, smoke, and herbs. There is plenty of glycerin, flesh, and body in this concentrated yet supple wine. Drink it over the next decade. Importer: A Christopher Cannan Selection, Europvin USA, Watertown, MA; tel.
