The 1993 Chateauneuf du Pape displays a dark ruby color with plenty of purple tints. The flashy nose of ground pepper, Provencal herbs, and ripe black-cherry fruit is followed by a full-bodied wine with admirable depth and richness, as well as light to moderate tannin. Although a structured style of Chateauneuf du Pape, it is flattering to drink at present. Consume it over the next 10-12 years. This impressive offering from proprietors Jean and J. P. Versino is an intense, full-bodied wine with considerable character and charm. Importer: New Castle Imports, Myrtle Beach, SC; tel. (803) 497-8625
