  1. Domaine de Saint Prefert Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2000

    Ruby in color with a wide brick rim.

    Earthy on the nose, and medium bodied with medium acidity.

    Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

    Showing red fruits with light wood, spices, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, earth, light vegetables, pencil lead and black tea.

    Tangy finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

    This 25 year old Châteauneuf-du-Pape is not drinking at its peak anymore, but still very tasty. Complex and interesting. Elegant and soft.

    Good right out of the bottle, but didn’t last long. Easy drinking, and better right out of the bottle.

    13% alcohol by volume.

    91 points.

    $100 (current vintage).

    Looks like a waste of money to me for $100. I hope you paid significantly less or had it somewhere stored in a forgotten corner of your cellar.
