2009 Paul Autard, Chateauneuf-du-Pape

Price: $45.99

"This is a gloriously opulent, voluptuously textured, opaque ruby/purple Chateauneuf du Pape with loads of grilled meat, charcoal and roasted herbs as well as blackberry and black currant fruit. Deep, chewy and very Provencal, this is a seriously endowed wine that actually has enough structure and tannin to warrant 1-2 years of bottle age." 2009 89-91 pts The Wine Advocate.
