Intense blackberry and raspberry preserve aromas show great depth and ripeness -no surprise, as Sabon told me that components of this are over 17.4% alcohol. Lush, creamy and almost liqueur-like in sweetness, but with good acid lift to the ripe boysenberry and blackberry flavors. Tannins sneak in on the back but are overwhelmed by the sheer weight of fruit. Stains the palate with dark fruit flavors. \u003cb\u003eThis was one of the highlights of my trip.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\"\u003e 94-97 points\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\" size=\"1\"\u003eRobert Parker's Wine Advocate, Feb 2007\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePossibly the wine of the vintage,\u003c\/b\u003e the 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes, which is up around 16% natural alcohol, actually as remarkable levels of acidity and a low pH for Chateauneuf du Pape. Dense, full-bodied, with an inky\/purple color, extremely backward, but with layer upon layer of fruit and richness, this wine has enormous concentration, texture, and body as well as amazing precision and freshness. This is certainly a Chateauneuf du Pape meant for long-term aging and probably best put away for 5-8 years and drunk over the following 20-25 years. \u003cb\u003eThis possibly could be a legendary wine in the making.\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\"\u003e 94-96 points\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vins Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46037278228719,"sku":"1652","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/7140\/9135\/files\/janasse_cdpvv2017-LBL_a9f9e672-f115-4e23-a92b-83367e4cfeec.png?v=1772599182","url":"https:\/\/vinsrare.com\/products\/2005-janasse-chateauneuf-du-pape-vv","provider":"Vins Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
