The 2005 Argiles Bleus is even more backward and almost impossible to penetrate. It has terrific fruit, with a dense ruby/purple color but a mountain of tannins, and its firmness and angularity suggest forgetting for at least 3-4 years. One of the great families of Chateauneuf du Pape, the Coulons, have been estate bottling for nearly 100 years, and have an impressive, nearly unmatched record of quality. Moreover, one needs to keep an eye out for their best value wine, the Rasteau cuvees they produce.Importer: New Castle Imports, Myrtle Beach, SC; tel. (843) 448-9463
