“A lovely
beam of crème de cassis runs through this silky, rich red, which also sports
licorice, black tea and raspberry ganache notes. The long, fine-grained finish
lets the fruit play out, almost leaving a heady impression, but the minerality
sits in reserve and keeps this honest. Best from 2008 through 2027.”

Parker Review:
The dense ruby purple tinged, fullbodied, powerful, rich 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Petits Pieds dArmand offers up notions of sweet black cherry and raspberry fruit, licorice, smoke, and earth. It is similar to the 2006, but possesses more acidity and tannin.
