Score 93/100 · Drink 2000-2015, Jeb Dunnuck, Feb 2009

In complete contrast to the sweet fruited, easy drinking 1999 Clos des Papes was the masculine and slightly austere 1995 Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau. This is still young and fresh with a blackberry, leather, licorice, river rock and hot tar scented bouquet and a concentrated, medium bodied palate. Really gorgeous with pure flavors, solid structure and a long finish, this just started to open up on the second day… Is this what the 2005s will be like 13 years?

Score 90/100 · Drink 2004-2015, Robert Parker, Jan 2003

The deep ruby/purple-colored 1995 exhibits a sweet perfume of licorice, iodine, seaweed, black cherries, and plums. Dense, medium to full-bodied, well-structured, and muscular, it will be at its peak between 2004-2015. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel (510) 524-1524
