The 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape, which comes from the northwestern sector known as Gres, is a succulent, hedonistic fruit bomb made from primarily Grenache with a bit of Syrah included. Full-bodied, with low acidity, a thick, unctuous texture, high alcohol, and a blast of kirsch liqueur and spice, this multilayered Chateauneuf should drink well when released and last for 15 years.
