| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
Chateau la Nerthe |
| This blend of 50% Grenache, 31% Syrah, 19% Mourvèdre/Cinsault has a very deep purple colour. Slightly spicy, lively, plummy, slightly cedary, ripe cherry-apple nose. Dry, crisp, medium bodied, nicely structured, ripe plum flavours with a slightly spicy, lingering sandalwood finish. Much better than the 2004 (**) released on March 17, 2007 at $54.95. |

| TASTING NOTE: The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Tradition (50% Grenache, 31% Syrah, and the rest Mourvedre and Cinsault) exhibits a deep ruby/purple color along with a gorgeously sweet perfume of cassis, black cherries, smoke, roasted herbs, and licorice. It is soft, round, full-bodied, opulent, and accessible, which is somewhat out of character for this virile/masculine and tannic vintage. The 2005 Tradition should drink beautifully for 10-15 years. Score – 90. (Robert Parker Jr., www.erobertparker.com, Oct. 2007) |
