The 1997 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Prestige Felix possesses an international style due to its new oak (barrique) influence. The wine's opaque saturated purple color is accompanied by thick, juicy, full-bodied black currant, and blackberry flavors with explosive richness and depth. Atypical for a 1997, it is impressively endowed, and should age nicely for 12 or more years.
