Aside from the 2002, the 2008 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de La Reine des Bois is the lightest and most straightforward in the lineup. Almost Burgundian in its weight and texture, it offers an elegant, layered style on the palate to go with pretty berry fruits, ground pepper, mineral, licorice and tinges of cured meats on the nose. Shining for its elegance and purity, it should be consumed over the coming 5-6 years. - Jeb Dunnuck
