Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réservé--Vintage 2005
Rhône. Domaine de la Vieille Julienne
In original wooden six-bottle cases
Tasting note: Along with Clos St.-Jeans Deus Ex Machina, Vieille Juliennes 2005 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réservé (200 cases produced) is the wine of the vintage. From 101-year old Grenache vines planted in sandy soils, it boasts a black/purple colour as well as a gorgeous perfume of smoke, meat, blackberries, sweet cherries, crème de cassis, liquorice, spice, and a hint of pine forest/underbrush. The fruit dominates in this rich, intense, remarkable effort. It requires 5-7 years of bottle age, but should keep for 35-50 years, proving to be one of the most legendary Châteauneuf-du-Papes ever made. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2040+.
