2007 Clos du Mont Olivet "La Cuv̩e du Papet" Ch̢teauneuf-du-Pape

*Highly Recommended* Remarkably dense, but silky at the same time, with captivating mouthfeel to the layer upon layer of roasted black Mission fig, sandalwood, black tea, macerated currant fruit and plum sauce, all held together by finely beaded acidity. Latent grip shows up at the very end, boding well for long-term cellaring. Best from 2010 through 2030.
