The 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape has turned out lighter than I thought it would be, but it is pleasant and quite Provencal with notes of sweet cherries intermixed with spice box, licorice, and tobacco leaf. The wine is fruity, gamey, but somewhat superficial. Drink it over the next 3-4 years. Importer: Simon N Cellars, Charlottesville, VA; tel.
