1999 Guigal Chateauneuf du Pape WS--93

Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Score: 93 Release Price: $30 Country: France Region: Southern Rhône Issue: Nov 30, 2002 Top 100: 2002, Rank: 1 Designation: Highly Recommended Distinctive Châteauneuf, with plenty of wild mushrooms, wet earth, game and leather. This is not a fruit bomb; it has chewy tannins. But underneath is wonderful sweet fruit, as well as a subtle mineral caress. Something special. Best from 2005 through 2015. 13,330 cases made.--PM
