Lot #349. Clos des Papes Chateauneuf du Pape 2005

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 98 WS.
". . . 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 - à la the 1990 - when it reaches its peak. [2007 Top 100: Rank 1]" Wine Spectator, Dec 15, 2007
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $85
