Domaine de Villeneuve Chateauneuf du Pape 2005

My interest in Chateauneuf continues, and was keen to try another. Opened to quite a big bouquet of red berries, maraschino cherry, earth and some spice. On the palate it was hot, with alcohol just pushing through. Fruits were rich and tannins quite solid, but it was still well integrated. Overall I just found this wine too big, hot and masculine, and although it may settle somewhat with time, I know I am not a fan of this particular house style.
50+4+13+16+7 = 90/100
