Nearly flawless blockbuster?a gem from start to finish. Full-bodied, ultrathick, very silky, displaying a seductive texture that is backed by black fruit, floral notes, smoke, tar and grilled meat character. The ripe fruit strikes again on the long, balanced finish.
A candidate for wine of the vintage, the 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de la Reine des Bois boasts a saturated blackruby color as well as amazing concentration of fruit extract (blackberries and cherries) intermixed with graphite and creme de cassis. Spectacularly concentrated, full-bodied, extremely pure, well-delineated, and opulent, this superb wine is forward and accessible
