Domaine de Nalys Les Dix Salmees 2005 RED France

Domaine de Nalys is excellent - its reds are disarmingly lush seductive and delicious. That's the pronouncement of international super-critic Robert Parker and you'd do well to take note. We don't have a lot of this to go around. It was one Philippe Dufays - owner of the estate between 1955 and 1976 - who really brought the property to its current apogee. Nowadays Nalys is an estate of about fifty hectares (125 acres) on three parcels of land. All thirteen grape varieties authorised in the appellation are represented with Grenache accounting for 60% and Syrah about 25%. This stunning Chateauneuf-du-Pape is among the region's oldest estates and has been turning heads for decades with its deep flavours and terrific value. 40-year-old vines and the "outstanding 95-point 2005 vintage" (Parker) make for a rich Chateauneuf-du-Pape of rare complexity.
