Lobenberg: Der Chateauneuf Vieilles Vignes kommt von vier verschiedenen Plots im Süden und im Norden. Überwiegend Lehm-, Sand- und Steinböden: klassisches Chateauneuf-Terroir.

Winespectator über: Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes

-- Winespectator: Tightly coiled for now, this features an intense, vivid core of anise, blackberry coulis, plum paste and macerated fig fruit, with black tea, smoldering tobacco and warm ganache notes. Long and dense, but very silky, with gorgeous violet and pastis details lingering in the background. Should unwind with time. Best from 2017 through 2035. 96/100

Parker über: Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes

-- Parker: Most likely one of the top 2-3 wines produced, the 2012 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes is a rough blend of 80-85% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre (which was harvested October 10) and the balance Syrah, that hit 15.4% natural alcohol. Seeing the same elevage as the 2011, it sports an inky purple color as well as spectacular array of black and blue fruits, violets, liquid flowers and underbrush to go with an energetic, seamless and full-bodied profile on the palate. Lighter weight than the 2007 and 2010, it possesses notable freshness, purity and elegance. It should benefit from short-term cellaring and thrill for upward of two decades. 95-98/100

Galloni über: Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes

-- Galloni: Inky ruby. Explosive aromas of dark berry preserves, incense and lavender, with a smoky overtone and bright minerality. Pliant and seamless in the mouth, offering intense, palate-staining cassis and blueberry flavors that are energized by juicy acidity. Shows real power and focus on the strikingly long finish, which features velvety tannins and a hint of candied flowers. There's 15% alcohol here, which is actually quite low for this bottling, and I don't detect any undue heat. 94/100

Vinum über: Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes

-- Vinum: Herrliche Aromatik, superbe Textur, lupenreiner Fruchtausdruck, Charakter und Komplexität: überaus großer Chateauneuf, jetzt oder in einigen Jahren. 18/20
