Robert Parker (90)

Slightly darker colored than other wines in the retrospective, the 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape had a touch of oxidation in its buttered-citrus, hazelnut, spice-cabinet and old-furniture bouquet. Still impressive on the palate, though, with beautiful depth of fruit and a layered, balanced texture, it's hard to say where this is going with any degree of certainty, but my gut says continue to cellar.

Thick and showy, but this one pulls it off. Honey, butter, marzipan and toasted bread. Everything about this wine is big--big in body and big in flavor. Gold-colored. Expansive finish.
