The 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape La Cote Ronde exhibits aromas of smoked Provencal herbs, black cherry and berry fruit, an unctuous texture, and a lush, complex, medium to full-bodied style with notes of mincemeat. With outstanding concentration and purity as well as an up-front style, it should be drunk over the next 12-14 years. Represented by Russell Herman, Berkeley Heights, NJ; tel.
