critic reviews
Deeper but lively aromas of apricot, lime, flowers, nut oil and spicy oak. More concentrated than the last bottle but also bright, firm and evolving slowly. Very long and fresh on the back end. Long on potential.
The 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape Roussanne Vieilles Vignes (produced from 50-year old vines) may not be very ostentatious or concentrated, but it is an extremely impressive wine with aromas and flavors of grapefruit, orange marmalade, honey, and white flowers. Full-bodied, dense, and super-concentrated, this is a stunningly pure winemaking tour de force that admirably demonstrates what can be achieved in selected terroirs of the southern Rhone. It should age beautifully for 20 years. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802
