The 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape* is a ripe, fleshy, black cherry-dominated effort with full body, superb ripeness, and copious quantities of spicy, chewy fruit. It should drink well during its first 7-8 years of life. An Alain Corcia Selection, various American importers, including Charmer Industries, NY; tel.
