Scoring 92/100 Parker points and from the outstanding 2005 vintage, "The brilliant 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes is a sexy-styled wine, especially for this structured, masculine, and somewhat restrained and backward vintage.
This is full-bodied opulence with sweet tannins, low to moderate acidity, and gorgeous levels of plum, fig, black currant, and sweet cherry fruit intermixed with some smoked meat and lavender.
This is a beauty of layered opulence and luscious texture.
Drink it over the next 12-15 years.
