Domaine de Nalys' 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape performed better from bottle than it did from barrel. Offering classic strawberry liqueur notes intermixed with pepper and spice, it is a mid-weight, charming, seductive effort dominated by fruit. Open-knit, round, generously-endowed, and seamless, it should be drunk over the next 7-10 years.
