2006 Domaine de la Janasse Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Vieilles Vignes RP--96 WS--94

Wine Spectator: 94 Points
Score: 94 Release Price: $130 Country: France Region: Southern Rh�ne Issue: Nov 15, 2008 Really juicy and vivid, with blueberry, boysenberry and raspberry fruit laced with sweet spice, tobacco and fruitcake notes. The long, racy finish has a great refreshing edge and solid, buried grip. Drink now through 2028. 400 cases imported. �JM

Wine Advocate #179 Oct 2008 Robert Parker 96 Drink: 2008 - 2033 $62-$175 (90) The Chaupin is slightly eclipsed by the profound quality of the 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes. Inky/blue/purple, with massive aromatics, an unctuous texture, and superb length on the palate, it is enormously endowed for a 2006. Very pure for a 2006, with sweet tannins as well as amazing length, it will benefit from several years of cellaring, and drink well for 20-25 years.
