"The most masculine and structured of the group,the 2005 Vieille Julienne Chateauneuf du Pape is locked and loaded,with serious concentration,big tannin and no shortage of length on the finish.Coming from a year that featured a cool summer and then scorching temperatures around harvest,this beauty doles out loads of creme de cassis,licorice,graphite,and crushed rock-like minerality,as well as a seamless,perfectly balanced profile.Give it another 2-3 years and drink it through 2025".

Jeb Dunnuck. (The Wine Advocate. August 2004).
"Showing beautifully,with intense fig,black currant and boysenberry fruit and dark chocolate,date bread,spice and mineral notes.This is both powerful and pure at the same time,with a superlong finish.Seriously structured.Drink now through 2030".

James Molesworth. (The Wine Spectator. November 2007).
"Inky ruby.Ripe,boysenberry and blueberry aromas are deepened by musky tobacco and dark chocolate.Weighty dark berry flavors verge on thick;initially brooding but brightens with air,picking up an energetic,stony character.Red fruits build on a long,sappy finish.A serious style,and not for those that demand elegance".
