PARKER 2001: 91
The 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape was made from yields of 27 hectoliters per
hectare, about one-half of the Bordeaux average, and one-third of what
many Burgundy vineyards achieve. Reminiscent of a grand cru Corton, it
offers abundant quantities of sweet cherry fruit intertwined with
flowers and minerals. There is a certain earthy terroir character as
well as copious amounts of red and black fruits, full body, good spice,
and moderate tannin in the long, firm finish. This is a beautifully knit
Chateauneuf du Pape. The 1999 needs 3-4 years of cellaring, and should
keep for two decades. Very impressive!
PARKER 2003 :94
While the 1999 performed better than the 1998, it remains firm and
closed, offering plenty of sweet kirsch and blackberry fruit, licorice,
spice, and floral aromas. Structured, medium to full-bodied, and
moderately tannic, it should be at its finest between 2006-2020.
