A fantastic drink right now with an hour or two decant, this beauty should continue to shine for 12-15 years or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e95 points Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"I’ve always loved this cuvee and the 2007 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Lucile Avril was singing on this occasion. Made from 90% Grenache and the rest Mourvèdre and Syrah, it offers rich, full-bodied aromas and flavors of roasted Provencal herbs, charred meats, olives and bloody meat. Beautifully textured, concentrated, authoritatively flavored and a big mouthful of a Chateauneuf du Pape, it will continue to drink beautifully for another decade or more.\" (JD)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"A blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah and Mourvedre, the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Lucille Avril receives the same upbringing as the regular cuvee, but is made from some of the estate’s oldest vines. Even better post-bottling, its saturated ruby\/purple color offers up notes of cassis, jammy cherries, smoke, camphor, licorice, meat juices, and roasted herbs. Full-bodied, pure, broad, layered, and exceptionally long and silky, it can be drunk now or cellared for two decades or more.
