Grand Veneur, Chateauneuf Du Pape Vintage:2005 orchard fruitOpaque ruby. Sexy aromas of blackberry, cherry cola, minerals and incense. Precise and vibrant, with terrific cut to its intense flavors of bitter cherry and dark fruit preserves and licorice. Still youthfully tight and bound up but gains flesh and sweetness with air. Shows very good clarity and energy, finishing smooth, sappy and long. Josh Raynolds
