Score 92-94/100 · Robert Parker

The tannic, closed, mammothly-endowed 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes is a blend of 95% Grenache and 5% Syrah and Counoise. Its opaque dense purple color is followed by a reticent nose of earth, minerals, black fruits, and licorice, massive body, blistering tannin levels, and a firm, enormously-endowed finish. It has the potential to be great, coming across structurally more like a young Beaucastel than a typical Grenache-based Chateauneuf du Pape. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2020.||A Patrick Lesec Selection (Paris fax # 011 33 1 42 84 38 22), various American importers, including Adventures in Wine, Daly City, CA; tel.
