2003 DOMAINE DE MARCOUX VIEILLES VIGNES
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Domaine des Marcoux Vieilles Vignes--Vintage 2003
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: Armenier
Tasting note: The blockbuster 2003 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes (16.3 alcohol) is a blend of 85 Grenache and 15 Syrah that usually emanates from the three old-vine parcels they own: La Crau, Gallimardes, and Esquirons. The fruit from the latter vineyard, which usually goes into the Vieilles Vignes as it did in 2004, did not make it in 2003. This wine is built from the back forward, meaning there is huge tannin and structure, so at first the wine seems somewhat backward, but with air, the extraordinary perfume of lilacs, sweet licorice, blackberry liqueur, and kirsch soar from the glass. There are even hints of roasted meats, smoked herbs, and underbrush as well as truffles. The wine has superb concentration, remarkable intensity, full-bodied flavors, sweetness, opulence, and a multi-layered palate and finish that literally have to be tasted to be believed. This wine spent 100 of its time in tank and is a modern-day monument to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and the glories of the old vines of this appellation. I would give this wine another 1-2 years of bottle age and drink it over the following two decades. I wouldn't be surprised to see it merit a perfect score in a few years-it's that special. 99 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #163, February 2006
