The 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape is a deep ruby/purple-colored classic with tremendous concentration, an opulent texture, hedonistic levels of glycerin, superb purity, gobs of fruit, and a mouthfilling, rich style. Its low acidity as well as the vintage's precocious nature suggest drinking over the next 12-15 years is warranted.
