Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Clos des Papes--Vintage 1995
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: P. Avril
1995 was a very good, but firmly structured, tannic vintage for nearly all Châteauneuf du Pape producers. The wines do not display the generosity of the 1998s or 2000s, but the finest examples are admirably concentrated. Clos des Papes closed, spicy 1995 exhibits more animal-like notes than the sweeter, more fruit-dominated vintages of 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001. Nevertheless, it is big, full, and promising, but cellaring is warranted. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020. Robert Parker (Jan 2003)
