The surprisingly elegant 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape Haute Pierre is a soft, round, supple-textured red without the muscle and breadth of flavor many of this appellation's finest wines possess. It possesses sweet black cherry fruit, fine intensity, and excellent purity. Drink it over the next 6-7 years.
