WA: The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape has a dense ruby/purple color and a sweet nose of black cherry fruit intermixed with a hint of licorice, smoke, earth, and a touch of underbrush. It is medium-bodied, has more noticeable tannins, and fresher acidity, giving the wine a less evolved, more structured mouthfeel. Give it 1-2 years of bottle age, and drink it over the following decade or more. arious importers including T. Edward Wines, New York, NY; tel.
