"Made from 100% Grenache (60 to 80-year-old vines) aged largely in new oak foudres with a small amount of new barrels,the inky/ruby/purple-hued Chateauneuf du Pape Chaupin is the greatest offering since the 1998,but it is even more concentrated than that wine.A cold terroir and sandy/clay soils have given the wine an extraordinary amount of acidity and freshness that serve the wine well in buttressing the fabulously concentrated,massively extracted,old vine Grenache.This blockbuster wine possesses enormous richness and density as well as an incredibly unevolved personality.Everything is there,including awesome aromatics,unbelievable layers of kirsch,raspberries,licorice,incense,and blacker fruits,and a finish that goes on close to a minute.However,I would age this wine for 2-3 years and drink it over the following two decades or more.It is a tour de force in old vine Grenache as well as one of the vintages most compelling wines".
