Probably one of the best buys out there on release was the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape from Marie Giraud. This full-bodied, sexy, seamless beauty offers killer notes of black raspberries, lavender, incense and peppered meat, and it's just hard to resist. Still youthful and lively, yet I’d say drinking at point, enjoy it anytime over the coming 8-10 years.
