The 1997 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Prestige is powerful, with elevated alcohol, and a full-bodied, weighty, concentrated personality. The sweet rich fruit includes plums, cherries, and cassis intermixed with aromas of dried herbs, black pepper, and Provencal garrigue scents. A decadently rich, superb 1997 offering, this pure, impressively rich, fruit-driven wine can be drunk upon release, or cellared for a decade or more.
