Domaine de Marcoux Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Vielles Vignes' 2005
Domaine de Marcoux Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Vielles Vignes' 2005 Utterly profound, the dense ruby/purpletinged 2005 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes (16.7% natural alcohol) is a blockbuster. Full-bodied with great intensity, superb richness, and tremendous floral, truffle, meaty, raspberry, and blackberryscented aromas, this wine, which comes from three well-known parcels in Chateauneuf-du-Pape (La Crau, Gallimards, and Esquirons)exhibits high tannin and good acidity, but the massive fruit and richness from these old vines dominate the wine’s personality. Although it is tasting profound at present, shrewd buyers will give it 4-5 years of bottle age, and drink it over the following two decades. - 97/100 Robert Parker; The Wine Advocate - 95/100 Wine Spectator
