Henri Bonneau Cuvee Marie Beurrier Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2006

Sporting a healthy ruby, mostly opaque colour, it offers fabulous notes of Provencal herbs, spice, white pepper, kirsch, and assorted Grenache-dominated fruit characteristics in a medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, rich, and lengthy profile. There's still a fair kick of tannin here, but it has a core of sweet fruit and is a joy to drink. It will easily drink well for another decade.
