Domaine de la Vieille Julienne Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2000
The 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes (15% alcohol) emerges from a cold terroir in the northern sector of the appellation. The blend is generally 85% Grenache and equal parts Syrah and Mourvedre. Its opaque purple color is followed by a sumptuous perfume of creme de cassis, kirsch liqueur, licorice, plums, minerals, and smoke. Mammoth in the mouth, but surprisingly structured and tannic for a 2000, it is more evolved than its 2001 counterpart. This profound Chateauneuf should evolve slowly and age magnificently for two decades. It is a monumental effort...Anticipated maturity: now-2025. Robert Parker

Great concentration and power. Abv was out of balance and the finish was a touch short. #dominedelaviellejulienne #chateauneufdupape #viellesvignes #rhonevalley #ctbucklinwine

Big and powerful, very youthful. Needs a few more years for prime time. #chateauneuf #wine

At 15% very savory with a bit more elegant bouquet than the 2000 Vieux Telegraph side by side

Big, rich, warm and bretty. The fruit flavors were muted early but became more expressive with air.

Great Monday night slurped. Good color, pleasing nose, nice acidity and long finish.
