Score 90/100 · Drink 2007-2022, Robert Parker, Feb 2007

The limited production 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve des Vieilles Vignes is strong for the vintage with medium to full body, and beautiful sweet crushed raspberry and black cherry notes intermixed with some flowers, spice, and toast. The wine is medium to full-bodied, pure, beautifully balanced, a knock-out wine that could pass for a grand cru red Burgundy in a blind tasting. It should drink well for 10-15 years.

Deep ruby. Powerful blackberry and black cherry aromas complemented by seductive floral and Asian spice accents. Elegant, fresh and pure, with deep red and dark berry flavors, very fine tannins and a slow-building sweetness that carries into the finish. This really explodes on the back, displaying superb clarity and freshness to its suave red fruit flavors. This could pass for a grand cru Burgundy.

Light ruby. Powerful, soaring aromas of fresh red and dark berries, intense rose oil and heady oak spices. Lush, creamy and seamless, with impressively concentrated flavors of kirsch, cassis and strawberry jam. I'd have sworn that this was a grand cru from Vosne-Romanee. Endless, sweet, spherical finish offers a stunning combination of density, complexity and finesse.
