A wine Marc says was medium brown in color and oxidized five years ago, the 1989 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc has certainly turned the corner and was singing on this occasion. Offering up a touch of petrol in its buttered-citrus, lemon curd, mineral and dried-herb bouquet, it's fabulous on the palate and offers medium to full-bodied richness, a silky, seamless texture and no hard edges.
