The 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Girard "Non Filtre" is one of the vintage's finest examples. Its dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by classic aromas of pepper, earth, herbs, meat, and black cherry/berry fruit. A creamy texture, full body, and outstanding purity as well as depth are found in this generous effort. Drink this seamless, mouth-coating 1999 over the next 12-14 years. Raymond Usseglio is at the top of his game and consumers should be pursuing his splendid wines. Importer: Peter Weygandt, Weygandt-Metzler, Unionville, PA; tel (610) 486-0800
