Score 90/100 · Drink 2000-2015, Robert Parker, Oct 2000
The 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Vieilles Vignes rachets up the level of intensity, offering more notes of garrigue, crushed black pepper, kirsch liqueur, and spice box. Full-bodied and intense, with impressive glycerin, low acidity, and ripe tannin, this dense, long, fat Chateauneuf du Pape can be drunk now, or cellared for 12-15 years.
