Clos des Papes Chateauneuf du Pape
Vintage: 2005
Region: France--Rhone--Chateauneuf du Pape
Appellation: Chateauneuf du Pape
WS98
Rated 98 points by the Wine Spectator: `Really tight now, but packed with dark fig, currant, espresso, licorice and chocolate notes. Superfleshy but seriously structured, there`s layer after layer of sweet spice, fruit and minerality pumping through the finish, with lots of latent depth and power. Far more backward than the 2003 or 2004 on release, but since this red typically puts on weight as it ages, it should be a monster--a la the 1990--when it reaches its peak. Best from 2009 through 2030. 7,500 cases made. -- JM`
