2005 Chateauneuf du Pape, Clos des Papes

This dry red wine has quite intense ruby colour. On nose it has medium intensity aromas of red cherry, red plum, dates, toasted, licorice and touch of blood and smoke. The acidity is barely at medium level, medium alcohol and bodied, with medium soft tannin. The flavours intensity is quite intense with flavours of red cherry, dried herbs, licorice, and dried plum, Fairly long length with cherry finish. (93) Good red fruit and soft mouthfeel. I can feel the heat but the acidity needs to be higher.

有標誌性的教皇新堡風格的酒，複雜性及酒力也很不錯，單寧亦很柔順。酒在口中那種乾果感覺很好，在喝的過程亦感覺到其產地那種熱力。有可能也是這熱力吧，現在喝感覺到酒的酸度開始有點下降，有貨的，應該快快喝掉。
