The deep ruby/garnet-colored 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes exhibits classic woody, resiny notes intermixed with kirsch liqueur, tobacco leaf, and spice box. It is very Provencal, medium to full-bodied, and has the potential to be outstanding if some of the dry tannin melts away before the fruit, a chancy proposition. Give it 2-3 years of bottle age and drink it over the following 10-12.Importer: New Castle Imports, Myrtle Beach, SC; tel. (843) 448-9463
