Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 98
The opaque purple-colored 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes offers the essence of kirsch liqueur intermixed with licorice, smoke, and minerals. It possesses a striking bouquet, but the wine is closed. There is great precision, stunning purity, concentration, and length in this spectacularly constructed Chateauneuf du Pape, which should prove to be a future legend. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2025.
