As I indicated last year, as well as in my new book on the Rhone, Janasse's 1995s are brilliant wines. The 1995 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Classique is the least complex, with a dark ruby color, and a spicy, peppery, kirsch-scented nose with a touch of prunes. With moderate tannin and grip, this is a firm, medium to full-bodied, attractively made style of Chateauneuf du Pape that will benefit from another 1-2 years of cellaring, and last for a decade. These are impeccably made offerings from one of the finest estates in Chateauneuf du Pape. Importer: Eric Solomon, European Cellars, New York, NY; tel. (212) 924-4949
