Guigal Chateauneuf Du Pape 2005
To reiterate, the 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape is a must buy. Once the old vine Grenache is included in the 2007, that wine may eclipse the 2005, but at present, the 2005 is the finest young Chateauneuf in Guigal's cellars. It boasts a deep plum/ruby color as well as a rich bouquet of blackberries, kirsch, spice box, pepper, grilled herbs, and meat juices. With supple tannins, full body, and beautiful texture and depth, it should drink nicely for 10-15 years.

Chappellet Cab Sauv Signature 2007
Cinnamon and cocoa scents mingle with the aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and toasty oak. Robust flavors of espresso and red and black fruits layer deep into the core of this delicious wine. Elegant tannins round into the firm backbone of the wine, while an impression of bittersweet chocolate hangs gently on the aftertaste.
Cabernet Sauvignon 76%, Malbec 18%, Petit Verdot 4%, Merlot 1%, Cabernet Franc 1%

Giacoma Conterno Barolo Cascina Francia 2005
The recently bottled 2005 Barolo Cascina Francia is, as expected, somewhat closed down at this stage from an aromatic perspective. That said, it is impossible to ignore the wine’s richness and depth, both of which are impressive. With time in the glass hints of sweet roses, cherries, spices and tar emerge, all framed by impeccably silky tannins. As always, readers should taste this wine as soon as possible, as it will almost certainly head for a slumber during which it will be impossible to evaluate with any accuracy. Today, this mid-weight, graceful Barolo Cascina Francia looks to be accessible relatively early, which means around age 10-12 give or take. It is another superb Barolo from Giacomo Conterno. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2030.
