Domaine Saint Prefert Reserve Auguste Favier Chateauneuf du Pape - 2007 (750ml) 2003 At the beginning of whatAlso rock star stuff, the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve Auguste Favier gives up plenty of sweet blackberry, sugar cured meats, licorice, toasted spice and butcher shop like aromas and flavors to go with a full bodied, sweetly fruited, fabulously dense and layered palate. As with the Colombis, its a big, rich wine that stays fresh and pure. Wine Spectator 96 points
