Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Speciale
-- Internet: -- Parker: The 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Speciale, which is aged in used, small oak casks and comes from the northern sector of Chateauneuf du Pape (specifically a lieux-dit called La Gardiole), is a dense, full-bodied, 100% Grenache cuvee reeking of black cherries and raspberries intermixed with licorice and pepper. Powerful, rich, and set for a long life, it should be given 2-3 years of bottle-age and drunk it over the following 12-15 years. 91-93/100 -- WS: Rich, with a sappy intensity to the cassis and red plum fruit that pumps through, pushed by red licorice, raspberry ganache and incense notes. The long, detailed finish lets additional mocha and roasted vanilla hints chim in. 94/100
