2005 Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Clos des Papes

2005 Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Clos des Papes

Deep, near opaque with a bright purple rim. The nose is rich in dark cherry fruit, with spicy, peppery nuances. The palate shows terrific purity, with an appealing sense of ripeness. The fruit is bold and intense and the palate weighty, but there is remarkable elegance and refinement present. A seamless quality on the palate impresses further, as do fine, gently grippy tannins. Spice, pepper, liquorice and a hint of Provençal herbs serve to add complexity in what looks sure to be a stunning Châteauneuf-du-Pape
