| Rated 93. The 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape Tradition, or “Cuvee Classique” as they often say in Chateauneuf du Pape, tips the scales at 14.7% natural alcohol. It reveals a dense ruby/purple color, a big, sweet nose of creme de cassis, blackberry, and white flowers, beautiful texture, refreshing acidity, and plenty of definition as well as intensity. It should drink well for a good 10 years or more. Robert Parker |
