Clearly,the 2007 De La Janasse Vieilles Vignes (with the 100 Point maximum scores) is one of the greatest Chateauneuf du Papes ever produced:-
"The perfect 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes (tasted on four separate occasions) is composed of 85% Grenache,10% Syrah,and the rest Mourvedre and other authorized varietals from 60-100+-year-old vines.The wine is aged in both tank (75%) and small oak barrels (25%).Its inky/purple color is followed by a phenomenal nose of spring flowers,creme de cassis,blackberries,boysenberries,licorice,truffles,and spice.Displaying massive body,incredible freshness,laser-like focus,with excellent acids,and a finish that goes on well past a minute,this prestigeous Chateauneuf du Pape is the most extraordinary wine yet made at this estate.While accessible (as most 2007s are),ideally it needs 4-5 years of cellaring,and should keep for three decades".
(100 Points).

"The finest wine I've ever tasted from the Sabon's (although the 2010 gives it a run for its money),the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes is a flawless example of what this estate is capable of in a great year.Full-bodied,decadent,and layered,with incredible purity and freshness,it boasts heavenly notes of blackberry,chocolate,licorice,red wine marinade and roasted meat.It's a monumental wine that offers a singular,yet hedonistic drinking experience that should not be missed".
(100 Points).
