"...the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Sanctus Sanctorum offers a 2009-like level of decadence, yet is more dense, concentrated and thick, with a massive mid-palate and texture that has nothing out of place. Boasting off-the-chart aromas and flavors of creme de cassis, ground pepper, melted licorice, loamy soil and exotic spice, it's another desert island wine, in a lineup of desert island wines. Given that there are so few of these to go around, and that it's bottled only in magnum, I know it's difficult to open bottles, but don't wait too long..."
