2006 Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Cuvee Reservee', Dom. du Pegau

Description

Minimum Order 6x75cl

The 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee shares a similar meaty, gamy character intermixed with abundant notes of kirsch liqueur, ground pepper and Provencal herbs, sweeter tannins than the 2005, a voluptuous, full-bodied mouthfeel, and a long finish. The fruit seems sweeter and I would not be surprised if the 2006 has higher alcohol than the 2005 (although all top vintages here tend to be in the 14.8-15.6 range). This big, rich, impressive effort will age effortlessly over the next 20-25 years. Drink 2010-2035. 94pts - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate #191, Oct. '10
