The 1996 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Prestige displays black cherry fruit intermixed with olives, pepper, and earthy notes. It should be consumed over the next 2-3 years. Note: This a particular cuvee selected by French wine broker Alain Corcia, and bottled unfined and unfiltered for his clients in the United States and Japan. It is a different, and superior wine to those sold elsewhere. This famed property possesses spectacular potential (much of it still unrealized), as evidenced by this supple, richly fruity wine.Importer: An Alain Corcia Selection (telephone number in France, 011 33 3 80 24 93 72); various American importers
