An outstanding effort, the 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Cadiac boasts a dense ruby/purple color along with notes of pain grille, black cherries, black currants, graphite, smoke, Provencal herbs, and pepper. Deep and rich, it is somewhat reminiscent of Chateau La Nerthe’s Chateauneuf du Papes. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020.
Over recent vintages, I have immensely enjoyed the wines from this estate.
