2017 Châteauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes Grand Veneur Alain JaumeJebDunnuck 97+, The 2017 Chteauneuf Du Pape Vieilles Vignes is a bigger, richer, more opulent wine. Beautiful notes of blackcurrants, scorched earth, graphite, and crushed violets, all flow to a full bodied, Chteauneuf Du Pape that has a voluptuous, sexy texture, brilliant depth of fruit, fine tannins, and a purity of fruit that's hard to find in this vintage. It's a thrill a minute, and while it's approachable today, it will keep for 15 20 years. 416
