4 flasker Domaine de la Grange des Pères 2005. Opbevaret korrekt. Robert Parker tildeler 95 point: The 2005 Grange des Peres red leads with the raw red meat, plum paste, chocolate, and saline, sea spray-like elements of Mourvedre and Syrah. The palate impression here is enormously rich and sweetly-ripe in its expression of plum preserve, cassis, and chocolate, yet underlain by such a wealth of savory elements that it is impossible to address more closely without resorting to nakedly carnal adjectives and to babbling about “minerality.” Impressions of black tea, coconut, and tobacco add further complexity. This exhibits a polished, plush texture and an energetic vivacity rare among Languedoc wines of its vintage, and should be worth holding for a decade or more. (4)
