The best cuvee here is undeniably the 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape Secrets de Pignan Vieilles Vignes. This wine exhibits copious quantities of strawberry and black cherry liqueur notes intermixed with some licorice, dried herbs, pepper, and spice. It is deep, opulent, beautifully textured, pure, and already seductive and evolved. Drink it over the next 7-8 years. Importer: Simon N Cellars, Charlottesville, VA; tel.
