Medium red. Intensely spicy aromas of cherry and dark berries. Very fresh in the mouth, with impressive purity to the ripe cherry and cassis flavors. Silky and deeply fruity on the spicy, long finish.

Restrained, with serious structure underlying the raspberry and blackberry fruit flavors, this shows alluring perfume and a minerally spine on the back end, which really stretches out the finish. Drink now through 2027.

Fairly tough, but shows personality, with plenty of wet earth, roasted game, spice and plum and wild berry. Elegant while packing in the flavors, with a round tannin structure. Needs time. Best from 2005.

Silky, but with solid grip in the background, holding the fig, currant and blackberry fruit at bay, while roasted sage, tobacco and spice notes flitter throughout. Has a very silky, pure finish. Drink now through 2026.

The 1990 red Chateauneuf du Pape should prove to have 15 or more years of longevity. It is a highly concentrated, backstrapping, muscular, big wine. The color is a dark ruby/purple. With swirling, a spicy, peppery nose of cassis fruit and herbs is apparent. Full-bodied and impressively endowed, this large-scaled wine requires some cellaring to shed its cloak of tannin.

A gorgeous, silky, perfumy style, with tea and incense leading the way for supple-textured raspberry, black fig and mulled currant fruit notes. A perfumy note weaves through the minerally finish, with very fine-grained structure. Stylish for the vintage. Drink now through 2029.
