Notes:

The dense ruby/purple-hued 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape displays a powerful, gamy, roasted herb, meat, cassis, kirsch, sweet black cherry and plum-scented bouquet. Full-bodied, moderately tannic, pure, and well-balanced, it needs 2-3 years of cellaring, and should drink well for 15 years. Parker 90 points
