When describing a Chateauneuf du Pape:

"Prune, licorice, spice in the mouth. The mouthfeel is smooth and dense. It fills the whole mouth, it 'builds a fort,' as my roommate said. 'It’s like oak, like a wood frame,' he continued. We pondered this observation for a while. Yes! It’s like a crate of plums–the crate made from really old wood, the kind that’s white and weathered with age–if the whole crate (plums, crate, and all) had been crushed and made into wine."
