Score 90/100 · Drink 2001-2013, Robert Parker, Dec 2001

The 1,000 case cuvee of 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Etienne Gonnet (a blend of 65% Grenache, 15% Cinsault, 10% Syrah, and 10% Mourvedre) reveals a saturated dark ruby/garnet color. The nose has intense aromas of blackberry jam intertwined with cherries, garrigue, pepper, and smoke. It is an outstanding effort made in a modern style, but with plenty of the region's typicity. This sexy, full-bodied, layered wine can be drunk now and over the next 12+ years. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083
