One bottle: Clos Saint Jean Chateauneuf-du-Pape Vielles Viegnes France

Robert Parker:

"The 2005 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes has a dark saturated ruby/purple color and a gorgeous nose of camphor, beef blood, roasted meat, pepper, lavender, spring flowers, and assorted red and black fruits such as kirsch and blackberry. The wine is very Provençal, extremely deep, full-bodied, and ideal for drinking over the next 12 to 15 years. The tannins are there, but they are nearly obliterated by the wine’s concentration and richness."
