Proprietor Chaussy's sexy 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape exhibits a deep ruby/purple color, and a superbly pure nose of black cherry liqueur intermixed with raspberries, minerals, and spice. In the mouth, it is medium to full-bodied, with an elegant, finesse-filled personality. Disarming, fleshy, with gorgeously pure fruit, and beautiful symmetry, this well-endowed Chateauneuf du Pape will seduce tasters, yet it has excellent structure as well as sufficient tannin to evolve for 12-15 years.
