Not surprisingly, the 1996 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Prestige is a complex, big, rich, and deep wine. The color is a dark plum/garnet. The nose offers up a symphony of garrigue, olive, cedar, earth, black cherries, and currants. This full-bodied, lush, richly fruity, spicy, peppery wine is already delicious, yet promises to drink well for 5-7 more years, possibly longer.
