Winemaker's Notes:

Dark ruby color, dense fruit in nose. Dense, lush, ripe fruit in mouth. Smooth, soft tannins long finish, very fine on palate. Comlpex.

Another impressive Chateauneuf du Pape is the 2005 Les Pierres Dorees. Made from 75% Grenache and 25% Mourvedre, this wine displays a much more animal personality, with notes of black truffle, blueberry, damp earth, asphalt, and licorice. A structured, masculine wine very much in keeping with the style of the vintage, it is full-bodied, concentrated, and needs 3-4 years of bottle age and should evolve nicely for 15 or more years." ” — Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate #173 Oct 2007
