Just about pure perfection, the 2010 Châteauneuf Du Pape Chante Le Merle Vieilles Vignes reveals a dense purple hue as well as a smorgasbord-like array of darker fruits, peppery garrigue, saddle leather, lavender, and exotic spices. Incredibly Provençal, full-bodied, massively concentrated, yet flawlessly balanced, this is drinking at point today, with both beautiful fruit and building complexity. Count yourself lucky if you have some of this in the cellar! It will last for another 10-15 years.
