The saturated ruby/purple-colored 1996 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Boisrenard possesses an excellent rich nose of black currants, complemented by pepper, toast, and earthy smells. Fat and medium to full-bodied, with excellent depth, outstanding purity and equilibrium, and an exceptionally long finish, this supple-textured, showy, seductive Chateauneuf du Pape can be drunk now as well as over the next 7-9 years. Consistently one of the high quality Chateauneuf du Pape estates, Domaine de Beaurenard has turned in this impressive effort in this lighter year. Importer: New Castle Imports, Myrtle Beach, SC; tel.
