The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee des Felix has a deep ruby/plum/purple color, some ground pepper, roasted herb, and black raspberry and cherry notes, but also a surprising amount of new oak. The wine has an angular finish and seems slightly dry and disjointed at present, with very high tannins and zesty acidity. It certainly should come around, but patience will be required. Give it 2-3 years of bottle age and drink it over the following 12-15.Importer: J & R Selections, Mt. Pleasant, MI; tel. (517) 772-3695 and Louis/Dressner, New York, NY; tel. (212) 334-8191
