2007 Domaine Bosquet des Papes Chateauneuf-du-Pape Chante le Merle Vieilles Vignes French intermixed with sweet plum and"Full blown aromas of kirsch, spice box, jammy black raspberry and garrigue are all over the place. Powerful, concentrated and lush, this stylish Chateauneuf du Pape ends with a long, fresh, pure array of ripe, sweet, spicy cherries. 84% Grenache from 100 year old vines is the key to this wine. The remainder of the blend is 8% Syrah and 8% Mourvedre. This is drinking well now and will only get better." 94 100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
