［ＡＯＣ］シャトーヌフデュパプ
［パーカー評価］99+点
A phenomenal, still youthful and backward Chateauneuf du Pape,
this opaque purple-colored effort offers scents of violets,
creme de cassis, minerals, and spice. Aromatically, it is
reminiscent of a great Musigny from Comte de Vogue. However,
no Burgundy would have such concentration, power, richness, and
seamlessnessat such a young age. There is plenty of tannin, but
it is sweet and melted. Enormously-endowed, with a multilayered,
prodigious mid-section, and blockbuster finish, it has put on
weight and added additional nuances to its multidimensional
personality. A magnificent achievement, it is unquestionably
the finest wine l have ever tasted from this estate.
Anticipated maturity: 2004-2026.
