Domaine Roger Sabon Châteauneuf du Pape Réservé 2005
Wine Spectator Long and perfumy, with floral and spice notes riding on top of raspberry and loganberry fruit flavors. The long, fine-grained finish lets fruit, licorice and mineral hints hang together nicely. Drink now through 2022. Score: 92. —James Molesworth, 2007. Wine Advocate The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reserve is an even bigger wine than the 2006, more tannic, with greater density but again the classic fig, garrigue, tobacco leaf, kirsch, and meaty notes. In the finish, the tannins kick in. This wine definitely needs 2-3 years of cellaring, but is outstanding in richness and depth and should age nicely for 15 or more years. Score: 90. —Robert Parker, October 2007. |
