The best bottle of this I've ever had, the 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve was utter perfection on this occasion. Made from a blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Mourvèdre that was raised mostly in demi-muids, it exhibits awesome notes of blackberry, licorice, smoked herbs, graphite and tinges of minerality. Decadent, massively full-bodied and with sweet tannin, this thrilling Chateauneuf is hard to resist now, yet should continue to knock it out of the park for another decade or more.
