The 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape's uninspiring medium ruby color is deceptive given the fact that this is a sexy, open-knit, ripe, hedonistic, expansive, full-bodied, jammy offering. Abundant levels of cherry and currant fruit compete with spice, pepper, and herbs to provide a seductive, pure, well-balanced wine. Drink this delicious 1998 now and over the next 7-8 years.Importer: Provence Selections/Quid Novi, Chicago, IL; telephone number unknown.
