1990 E. Guigal Châteauneuf-du-Pape

The last stocks of Guigal's outstanding 1990 Chateauneuf du Pape are soon to be history. Marcel Guigal was shrewd enough to recognize the greatness of this vintage and bought heavily from all his sources in Chateauneuf du Pape, resulting in one of the finest Chateauneufs this firm has produced. It is a full-bodied, rich, thick, boldly-flavored wine with gobs of fruit. With over 14% alcohol, it is a blockbuster in terms of its power and fiery richness. Already delicious, it is capable of lasting for a minimum of another 12-14 years. Importer: Classic Wines, Boston, MA; tel. (617) 731-6644
