PIERRE USSEGLIO & FILS Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2017 $49 (94 points)

This is lovely right from the start, offering a velvety wave of raspberry compote that's followed by alluring fruitcake, incense, black tea and warned anise notes. Black cherry and dark plum paste notes line the finish, playing a supporting role to the raspberry component. With mouthfeel, length and fruit to burn, what's not to like? Best from 2023 through 2036.
