The 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape St.-Georges possesses magnificent fruit in addition to a skyscraper-like mouthfeel majestic richness a layered texture phenomenal purity and a classic style displaying plenty of bouquet garni licorice seaweed cassis and kirsch characteristics. This sensational 2010 is soft enough to be drunk now but will be even better with 2-3 years of cellaring. It should last for two decades. -Robert Parker
