Châteauneuf-du Pape, Vieilles Vignes--Vintage 2000
Rhône, Domaine de la Vieille Julienne
Lot 1049 in two six-bottle original wooden cases
"The 2000 Châteauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes (15 alcohol) emerges from a cold terroir in the northern sector of the appellation. The blend is generally 85 Grenache and equal parts Syrah and Mourvèdre. Its opaque purple color is followed by a sumptuous perfume of crème de cassis, kirsch liqueur, licorice, plums, minerals, and smoke. Mammoth in the mouth, but surprisingly structured and tannic for a 2000, it is more evolved than its 2001 counterpart. This profound Châteauneuf should evolve slowly and age magnificently for two decades. It is a monumental effort, but patience will be a virtue. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2025." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #145 (February 2003)
