DOMAINE DE LA JANASSE CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE VIEILLES VIGNES 2007 (2)

Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
u. 1 x 1 cm.

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. WS 96 WA 100

DOMAINE PIERRE USSEGLIO ET FILS CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE CUVÉE DE MON AÏEUL 2007 (2)

Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aieul is just now starting to shed a tiny amount of its abundant baby fat that's been front and center since release. Still, it pulls no punches in its thrilling aromas and flavors of kirsch liqueur, roasted garrigue, black raspberries, incense, cured meats and licorice, and it is about as quintessential Grenache as you can find. Thrillingly concentrated, intense, perfumed and layered with incredible balance, this full-bodied beauty should hit its peak in another 2-3 years and keep for at least a decade after that. February 2017 WA 99
