Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Vieilles Vignes--Vintage 1998
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: Janasse
Tasting note: I suppose one could say this wine was made in a quasi-modern style given its black/purple color and sweet nose of creme de cassis and raspberries. It is a great Chateauneuf du Pape, with power, elegance, immense purity, a majestic, multi-layered feel in the mouth, and a finish that lasts for 40+ seconds. Although it remains unevolved and somewhat grapy, everything is present for a fabulous evolution of two decades or more. Issue #131 rating: 95+ Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate Issue 138 (Dec 2001)
