The seriously endowed 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape l'Accent de Roquette is more tannic but also dramatically more concentrated than the traditional cuvee. An identical blend to the 2006, the wine exhibits a deep ruby color to the rim and sweet kirsch liqueur notes intermixed with hints of licorice, tobacco leaf, and spring flowers. Full-bodied, formidably endowed, but broodingly backward with high tannin and good acidity, this wine will be at its best between 2012 and 2022.
