Description:

Domaine de la Janasse Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Vieilles Vignes 2005
Southern Rhone
"Absolutely profound, and certainly one of the vintage's great wines is the 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes. Inky plum/ruby/purple to the rim, with a big, sweet nose of melted licorice, smoked meats, blackberries, cassis, and earth, the wine is deep, powerful, full-bodied, with fabulous concentration, purity, and a multi-dimensional mouthfeel. The finish goes on for close to a minute. Forget this wine for 2-5 years and drink it over the following 25+ years." R. Parker, 98 pts. 10/07
6 magnums (owc)
Estimate $800-1,200
