2001 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes

Reminiscent of Pomerol’s Chateau l’Evangile, the inky/purple-colored 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes offers up aromas of violets, blackberries, and raspberries. Full-bodied and intensely concentrated, with background notes of new oak, this phenomenally pure, rich, structured 2001 demands 3-5 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2018.
