Showing surprising depth and richness in the vintage, the 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape is slightly exotic on the nose, with hints of truffle, olive and underbrush morphing into more pure blackberry and sweet red cherry fruit. Medium to full-bodied, deep, rich and textured (especially for a 2004), it's drinking at point and should be consumed over the coming couple of years (as always, depending on your preferences, as it will evolve for longer). - Jeb Dunnuck
