Châteauneuf du Pape Secret de Sabon 1999 75cl

Consumers lucky enough to have any of the 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape le Secret de Sabon should consider drinking up. Wines typically aren't immortal, and this wine, while still impressive, was better a few years back. Cedar and leather notes join allspice and star anise on the nose, while the full-bodied palate showcases dried fruit. Still admirably silky and smooth on the long finish, this delicious, mature Châteauneuf du Pape should be consumed over the next couple of years.
