The 1993 Chateauneuf du Pape is one of the top wines of the vintage. It exhibits a deep, highly extracted purple color, and a super nose of sweet, jammy, black-raspberries and cassis aromas intertwined with subtle scents of herbs and spice. The lavishly rich texture avoids both heaviness and cloyingness. It is a full-bodied, expansively flavored, well-delineated, silky-textured Chateauneuf du Pape that can be drunk now and over the next 7-8 years. On a purely hedonistic level, it merits a much higher score. The Coulon family has always made delicious Chateauneuf du Pape, but the quality since the mid-eighties has increased significantly. Moreover, they have begun producing a luxury cuvee called Boisrenard.
