The inky purple-colored 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee des Generations reveals toasty new oak in the nose along with minerals, cassis, licorice, and roasted nuts. Full-bodied, highly-extracted, dense, and unevolved, it will require patience, but should turn out to be a long lived wine. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020.
