The complex aromatics of the 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape include Provencal herbs, licorice, smoked game, black cherry jam, blackberry, and flowers. Subtle and nuanced aromatics are followed by a full-bodied, layered, and textured wine with relatively high alcohol, plenty of glycerin, and low acidity. Drink it over the next 14-15 years. Philippe Bravay came to my attention a number of years ago, and he is one of the most serious of the young generation of vignerons in Chateauneuf du Pape. His Cotes du Rhones are real sleeper selections, and not that far off the mark of his brilliant Chateauneuf du Pape . Both his 2003 and 2004 vintages have provided beautiful wines that frugal consumers should be checking out. These are brilliant wines. Importer: Peter Weygandt, Weygandt-Metzler, Unionville, PA; tel.
