The deep ruby/purple-tinged 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Haute Pierre is outstanding. Classic aromas of kirsch liqueur, underbrush, salty sea breezes, and sweet black fruits emerge from this beautiful, full-bodied, fleshy effort. Enjoy it now and over the next 10-12 years. Importer: Maison Marques et Domaines, Oakland, CA; tel. (510) 587-2000

With good density, but revealing a Grenache-like character along with a touch of barrique, is the big, sweet, kirsch liqueur-based 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape. Ripe and medium-bodied, with good sweetness (from glycerin and lofty alcohol) as well as an attractive, lush finish, it should be drunk over the next 5-7 years. Importer: Maison Marques et Domaines, Oakland, CA; tel. (510) 587-2000

Shows the heat of the vintage, with very ripe plum and fig compote aromas and flavors. Has solid minerality and stony persistence, yet a hint of raisin frames the finish. Drink now through 2017. 830 cases made. -JM
