Tasting notes
Also fully mature, with a tiny dry edge to its tannin, the 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Mourre des Perdrix has lots of Asian spice, leather, dried herbs and sweet kirsch in its medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated style. This actually put on some weight with time in the glass, so I’ve no doubt it will keep for a few years, but don’t push it here and drink up.

The 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Mourre des Perdrix is a real terroir-based wine showing resiny notes of a pine forest intermixed with herbes de Provence, damp earth, and balsamic notes as well as oodles of kirsch liqueur. The wine is structured, medium-bodied, firmly tannic, and jagged in the finish. Drink it over the next decade. Wine Advocate.February, 2006
