Not too ripe and not too thin, Clos De L'Oratoire Des Papes 2007 is AMAZING! It's perfect for both the American and the European palate with the juicy fruits (Americans) and elegant complexity (European) of black berry, sour cherry, espresso and minerality. A lovely wine from AC Châteauneuf-du-Pape (for you history lovers - new chateau of the pope, google the "Avignon Papacy") and the really great news is you can find it at Costco!
But find it soon as the Wine Spectator gave it a 91 score so it won't be available long. Frankly, it deserves a higher score but maybe Clos De L'Oratoire Des Papes doesn't spend that much in advertising...
