The 1994 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee les Gallimardes exhibits a distinctive seaweed, salty ocean aroma, with pepper notes in the background. Chalky tannin suggests the wine was aged in ancient foudres. It offers an evolved garnet color, medium body, some spice and character, but not much fruit. Drink it over the next 2-3 years. This wine was tasted between June 1 and June 16, 1996.
