The dense purple-colored 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Secrets de Pignan Vieilles Vignes possesses sensational concentration as well as extraordinary intensity of blackberry, black cherry and raspberry fruit intermixed with incense, licorice and ink. Full-bodied with stunning texture and purity as well as good precision/delineation, it will benefit from 3-4 years of cellaring and should drink well for two decades thereafter. (Not yet released)With 25 acres in Chateauneuf du Pape and even more acreage in surrounding Cotes du Rhone areas, this exceptionally well run estate has been producing high quality wines under the Bonnet family regime for at least a decade. The three 2010 Cotes du Rhones I tasted all merit consideration. The 2009 Chateauneuf du Papes are largely drinkable, with the exception of Les Hesperides.Importers: Simon N Cellars, Charlottesville, VA; tel. (434) 977-4476; Vigneron Imports, Oakland, CA; tel.
