E Guigal Chateneuf du Pape

$45. Outstanding. One of the top wines I've ever drank. This is my first Chat du Pape and I wasn't let down at all. Made from mostly Grenache and Syrah, it has a soft, drinkable quality with an amazingly strong tannic backbone and peppery spiciness. I could drink this everyday for the rest of my life. Definitely some tar and blackberry flavor. Considering the price, I'm nervous to try the great producers of CdP...wine is quickly becoming an expensive habit.
