"The 1990 is open-knit and appears to be on a fast evolutionary track. It is a colossal, majestic, multi-dimensional Chateauneuf du Pape, but will require more cellaring. I have been jealously guarding my stock, not wanting to commit infanticide. At the same time, drinking wines such as this is a rare experience . . . . Black/ruby colored with stupendous blackberry and cherry liqueur aromas and flavors, this wine coats and stains the palate with a silky combination of black fruits, high glycerin, and formidable extract. Awesome!"

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
The southern Rhone's most famous appellation, blending Grenache with Syrah, Mourvedre and more into rich, warming, spice-laden reds from galet-strewn soils.
